Question about False percula

[inachu]

Sales guy told me adding different percula but within same species then they would fight to the death.

So if I bought 1 false percula at one store then another from another store they would fight until dead?

I am hoping to mate a pretty large percula of mine before it dies.

I am pretty sure it is a False Percula and it looks 100% like this one:

Did the sales guy lie to me? or is this just a potential danger.

I only have 1 percula in the tank now and it is pretty big so i think it could handle 5 with no problem.

I would like to breed clown fish but my sea monkies never hatch.
My tank is
PH 7.5
temp 75
salinity .023
everything else has been tested and is normal.

Do I really need ph to be 8.0 for sea monkeys?
I thought ph for fish is bad.

thanks for any replies!

ph should be 8.3 - 8.4, and there not sea monkeys.......there brine shrimp. and some bta's don't have bubbletips. and sometimes they come and go.

LOL I know they are brine hahaha
Ok so I will up my fish tank to 8.3
I hope the false perculas don't mind it.

If your false is still a juvi, it shouldn't mind a new tank mate, just take it slow.

1. Float the new addition
2. Drip the new addition.
3. Throw it in the tank in a breeder net for like an hour, see how the first one reacts.

IME it should work.

good method thanks I'll try it.

 

[fishkid6692]

btw bring your temp. up to 78-80.
