What is the differentiation between Onyx and True Perc? Is it just the extent and formation of the coloring on the fish?
My LFS just got Four awesome looking True Percs. They are fat and healthy and about 2" or so. They have heavy black coloration. The space between the first and second stripe is completely black almost right to the dorsal fin base. THere is also a lot of black between the second and third and on the tail.
Does this make them Onyx or maybe Psuedo-Onyx-ish?
Also. I've had a 1.25" True perc for about two and a half weeks now. It is more slender than the ones in the LFS and rather manly looking by clown standards. (meaning it looks girly to us)
Should I resist trying to pair it with one of the larger ones at the store.
Everyone says to go big then little but I'd rather pick up a fatty that a smaller one because I find their health to be more precarious in most cases.
Also, my clown lives with two large damsels. He remains rather cowed by them but they do not harm him. Since he has been kind of "on his toes" since moving into my tank, would this increase the chances of him submitting to a larger newcomer?
I also plan to completely rework my rock and substrate soon. This can be planned to coincide with the new clown. Should I plan for it to thow everyone out of wack and give them all a fair start.
P.S. if the damsels start any trouble they are gone baby.:mad2:
