    As I have posted before I have a 55 reef tank and I'm ready for fish, I have true perc clowns in my 30 reef (have an album in case you guys want to check it out) so now I'm ready to stock my 55. I have decided to do a schooling reef tank with cardnials and fairy wrasses. My question is which clown is better to have a pair of black percs or pair of maroons!

    The maroons will become so aggressive once mature and breeding you won't have anything else in that tank...

    Any clown pair does present a similar risk in a 55 however.

    Also, only some Cirrhilabrus (fairy) wrasses are suitable for that size of tank.
