Maroon Clownfish and Perculas

[Jade5051]

I've been offered a trade. Mushroom rocks for a pair of Maroon Clownfish. I currently have a pair of Percula Clownfish. If put the Maroons and Perculas together should I expect it to be a battle possibly ending in death?

don't do it. Even in husge tanks, the Maroon pair will likely kill the Percula pair.

+1. They may get along for a few weeks but eventually it will not even be a fair fight.

Definitely wouldn't do this in a 75 gallon, but this advice has limits. I have seen this pulled off in very large tanks - i.e., 300 gallons +, provided that there are multiple suitable host anemones.

With animals, anything is possible, but what is probable is that the perculas will be beat down in short order.

Anyone want some perculas? You pay shipping and you can have them!
