Maroons and Percs together...Is it possible?

[nauticac4]

Like the title says. I have a pair of Gold Stripe Maroons in my 180 gallon cube and I am currently trying to get rid of tanks. I have a 10 gallon left with a pair of Percula clowns. Since they are different species and look so different can they be housed together. There is plenty of rockwork and 3 anenomes in the tank. I think I know the answer but wanted some opinions.

The maroons will more than likely eliminate those percs. I wouldn't try in anything smaller than a 300 gal and even then the territories would have to be on opposite sides of the tank.

I have to agree. Though I wouldn't even try it in a 300 gallon --- mainly because if it didn't work out, would be a PITA to get them out.

yes, it will not work. you would need a bigger tank

A Pair of Maroon will destroy the percs, I have a 200 gallon with 2 perc and 1 maroon(from a tank breakdown), they respect each other territory as long as you introduce the maroon last.

Even in a 180 the maroons will give no peace to the percs. I agree with everyone else, it isn't recommended.
