Maroon Clown - Yellow vs White

I have been told that the Maroon Clown with the yellow stripes is not as aggressive as the Maroon with the white stripes....can anyone verify??

Also will two Maroon clowns, if introduced to the tank at the same time, co-exist??

Thanks in advance for any info.......

 

Their are many different color varieties of Maroon Clowns, and the gold stripe variety is often associated with ORA bred and raised species.
I don't believe their is any truth to the color of the stripes and aggression characteristics. Maroons are one of the most aggressive of the Clown species and will not normally tolerate it if one is an established member of your tank, and then you introduce another into your tank.
If you are going to do it add a few as juveniles, till a pair becomes evident, or purchase a breeding pair that is truly a mated pair.

 

My maroon clown has gold stripes with white borders......
Does that mean he's passive aggressive?

 

Never heard of a "passive" maroon...

 

If i had to bet on one I would pick the yellow stripped figuring they are normally caught from the ocean and the white banded are using tank raised or second generation. Who knows though there all aggressive

 

I have a yellow stripped maroon and hes not that mean at all.

 

I have a GSM Clown who isnt mean at all, he shares a tank with a six line wrase and they are best bud's

 

The fish store says yellow bands not as aggressive??

From an online fish store says.........

Gold Band Maroon Clownfish
[SIZE=-2]Premnas biaculeatus[/SIZE][SIZE=-2][/SIZE][SIZE=-1]

[/SIZE][SIZE=-2]Identification:[/SIZE][SIZE=-2]The Gold Band Maroon Clownfish is very similar to the Maroon Clown fish with the exception of its stripes, which are gold instead of white. Found in the area of Sumatra, these gold bands have 3 bright gold stripes. Far less aggressive than their relatives with white bands. As with most clownfish the Gold Maroon Clownfish is best kept singly unless a pair is introduced together. Generally, it is a great fish for the reef aquarium and spends much of its time nestled peacefully in its anemone. If you plan to keep other clownfish, it is best to add all of the clownfish at the same time which will help to reduce territorial disputes.
[/SIZE][SIZE=-2]Note:[/SIZE][SIZE=-2] The Gold Maroon Clownfish does not require a host anemone for survival; however it is a real treat for any hobbyist to observe the symbiotic relationship between the clownfish and its host anemone. The anemone provides a safe haven for the clownfish because its tentacles will inflict a painful sting on all but other clownfish. The clownfish, in return, chases off fish that threaten to pick at the anemone and brings it scraps of food. The Gold Maroon Clownfish adapts to almost all common sea anemones, but prefers the Bubbletip Anemone.
