What kind of clown should a get?

[Bnortz]

My male true percula clown recently decided to commit suicide after more then a month in my 60 gallon by jumping out. He was paired with a larger, female true perc who is doing great. My question is, what other kind of clown could pair well with a true perc...I know I can just go ahead and get another smaller true perc and hope they pair up, but is there any other cool species that would likely pair up with a perc? Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks,

Ben

A perc would be best. I see more and more people trying, and many successfully pairing up percula, and occelaris...

Ocellaris is your only other choice, and even then they may or may not pair up. I'd stick to a true perc.

Can I please suggest one other addition with this new perc?

Eggcrate + Open Tank = No More Jumpers

I have seen the jumper craze in a growout 20L before and after using eggcrate reduced the jumpers to zero. Worth the $12 IMO.

Perculas have mated with Maroons before. Just sayin'....

yeah I have some screen over there now to prevent jumpers. How about Onyx clowns would they pair up with a true perc?

Onyx clowns would pair up fine or you can try a Picasso clown should be fine.

I've checked out ibluewater.com before. I just can't get over the picture on their homepage... I won't be ordering anything from them. I have trouble trusting a company that obviously photoshops (and poorly) the photo on their main page. The picture of the green carpet anemone looks crazy as well.
