Minimum tank size for perc pair?

[miniwhinny]

I have a bonded pair of percs and really want to rearrange my house...got the spring cleaning bug lol. What's the minimum size that I can house a perc pair in happily? Thanks.

i have a pair of percs in my 10gallon biocube.
they are alot smaller than my pair in my 55g.
i've had them for a couple years, i'm still waiting to see if they will start spawning. the female is about twice the size of the male, and he definately knows his place. i believe they are happy.

i would not put in less that a 15. once sand rock and other things are added that only leaves you about 8 gallons. should be okay for pers/occs...

Thanks for the responses. I have a empty 10 and 20H I'll use the 20H.

Thanks.

10 gallons imo, although I have read reports of a pair spawning in a 1 gallon cubicle connected to a larger system.

I know this is a late reply, but I just put my pair from my 36 in a 10g- I've decided to go get a 20H since my clowns look enormous in there (they've grown a lot in 3 years!)
