True Percs

[ndnreefer]

So I came upon two ORA true percs from Petco that swimming next to each other and both hosting an anemone. They both were also chasing away a few other clowns in the tank from what my fish guy told me. Is it safe to assume they are a possible bonded pair? They are roughly around 1.75-2" each

If they are a bonded pair is their anything I can do to possibly breed?
Right now they are in a quarantine tank that I plan on making into a frag tank one day and planned to keep them in their if they will breed.

It is possible that they are a pair. Bonding takes time and while it is possible, you almost have to watch them daily to see if they really are.

Dancing, hiding, playing, and how they act together will tell.

If they are the same size they most likey are tank mates that are just starting to court. You will be able to tell some when they start to shake and dance with each other.

Have you seen this behavior either in yours or in a youtube video or elsewhere?

I'll youtube some videos tonight to see. I know at the store they were together for about 3 weeks and I don't know before that if they were in the tank together. Since then being in my tank they tend stick together and once seems to swim right in top of the other and jump back and forth. Have not seen any aggression and they are out and about all over the tank.

Personally I would get them, if they were black in color, as I just got a new gig and need to put something to host in with it.
