Percula and black ocellaris

[faulkincanyon]

So I have a percula clown that I have had for few years and at one time was with a black ocellaris. Well I had a tank crash about a year and a half ago and lost the black clown. The percula has been the only clown in the tank since but I would like another black just not sure if the perc will be as happy to have a new tankmate. How do the Perculas typically react to an ocellaris being brought in?

They should get along just fine, just find one much smaller than your perc.

I have seen some jumbo sized B&W Ocellaris clowns. I think that as they mature they get bigger than A. Percula and orange A. Ocellaris clowns. So one day your male might get big enough to either challenge the female or present enough threat for female to kill it (the ocellaris). I think that you are morel likely to succeed but if I were you I would just get another A. Percula clown, a juvenile.

I agree with the first part of your statement, but if the sizes aren't similar enough it should be fine. Same goes for other clowns like Maroons (Despite their large size and more extreme sexual dimorphism)

OT: What kind of fish is your profile pic? I'm on the market for a Declivis butterfly and yours looks like it.
