    If you have perculas...lets say two in a tank, can you add more perculas or will they fight?

    What other clowns can you add with percula's that will get along with them?

    Thanks!

    It is my understanding that it is best to only have one pair of clowns per tank, unless your tank is very large and can accomodate them having their "own space". I have a 150 tall and I can't imagine having another pair in their with my b/w occelaris. That being said, I personally like the pink skunk clowns and think that they are more laid back like perculas. I would definitely stay away from maroons or clarkii. I have seen them be extremely territorial and aggressive.

    Perculas should be fine. Maroons and Tomato's are quite aggressive. I've seen Sebae/Clarkii's be slightly aggressive as well with others.

    I agree that a pair of clowns per tank is best. Depending on what stage they're at, any more than two will most likely cause fighting for the female.
