percula pair

[game misconduct]

can a coralife32kit realistically house a single pair of adult percula clowns ? the tank will be a gift to me so i cant really go with the bigger is always better way of thinking .only planning to house a percula pair with live rock.

If you mean a 32 gallon Biocube, yes, absolutely you can house a pair of Percs. You will also be able to add a few other fish that stay fairly small.

yeah the biocube thanks for the reply i may add a few hermits to scavenge .nonono other fish i will end p with a big display tank again

lol, if you upgrade the lighting you could add a bubble tip anemone for the clowns.

idont those clone like crazy?

I agree with griss, it can absolutely house a pair (I have one currently with a pair and mostly anemones and green star polyps).

BTAs can (and usually will) multiply like crazy, but if it’s the only thing (no other corals), then I don’t see an issue (but again mine has around 15 or so BTAs in it) plus you can always sell some off as they multiply. The issue you may run into (if you want anemones) is many other types (if given the opportunity) will get too large for the 32, such as carpets and magnifica.

They will if you consistently feed them.
Just light, and, not so much.

I’d throw a Royal Gramma in with the pair.

They will find their spot, and the Gramma, has/her cave.

Enjoy

Here is my AIO cube in my office. 35 gal range I think, with my Black Snowflakes and a Gigantea anemone.
20+ gal cube is defiantly doable. I keep Magnifica and A. percula in an Oceanic 18 gal cube your many years until we move and I took it down.

Would you believe it? Petco cheap fish. I saw the two with perfect shape and marking. No deformity whatsoever. I got them for 29.99 each but one of the special weekend with 25% off.
I could not be happier when I got this pair. They were smaller with some orange but I know they will color in like the normal black Ocellaris.

People always trash Petco.
Those are fab fab fab for 30 bucks.

These were from our countries version of Petco. But $40.
Not them same, but Petco is good if your careful and have good knowledge of marine aquaria.

Petco all depends on the aquatic life manager. Most in my area are horrible. But, there’s one about 30 minutes away that has a great fish manager and has a huge selection of SW livestock and it’s also very healthy. That store even has a standalone dedicated frag tank with Acros, Montis, Zoas, LPS, etc.
