They look so tiny!

I have a false percula that I believe has grown to it's maximum size
(2 1/2'') and it's been with me for a year now. Having said that, I might try buying a much smaller juvanile to see if they can pair up, but I'm scared they might kill one another.

I had a mated pair of occe. clowns. The male died when I had a mishap with the tank and I was very hesitant to introduce another male for fear that she would be territorial and kill him. After months went by and I decided to give it a try I spent nearly two months looking for a little one. The only time I have every gone store to store and found no occe. clowns or only large females, go figure. When I did find a small male I was surprised at how the introduction went. I started by floating the bag for a short bit to see how the other fish would react to see him. The female immediatly went up to him, but didn't appear aggresive. At that point, I took him out and started the drip acclimation. I was amazed when I introduced him to the tank. the female immediatly took to him and actually put herself between him and my sailfin tang and then my royal gramma. She was protecting him. Every since then she has tried to entice him to host with her, but he tends to be a free spirit that likes to wander the tank. Every so often I'll find them both laying in the gsp that she recently moved to. I can't wait until he is sexually mature and they start laying eggs.

I say go for it, but do it slowly to judge her reaction before you actually dump him in the tank. Good luck!

I saw a few the other day that I swear was litteraly the length of your pinky fingernail (provided they are cut, lol). I was like.... awww, I want one!! But, until I identify mine, I had to let them be.
