    Here is my new addition that I bought for my 9 month old baby girl. This is Our Nemo. The LFS sold it as a Ocellaris. Is there a way to tell? [​IMG]

    the way to tell is by the black lines that seperate the orange and white. which is not always that accurate. The perculas tend to have a more defined black coloration that separate the orange and white colors.

    Boy! That is some pristine coral skeleton rock. It looks like it's about 3 hours old! Nice fish too! :)

    the way to tell is to count the dorsal spines in it fins Os has 11 true perc has 10(this isn't always a exact science)

    Great looking fish, if taken care of, they can last a long time. I've had mine for about 10 yrs now and she's a hog when it comes to feeding time. Luna

    I feed mine flake food mixed with brine shrimp, they love it!! I also add some garlic pellet food because I have a picky eater and my clowns stay away from it.. I dont know if its becuase it is sinking so fast they are to lazy to get it or maybe the garlic smell they dont like.. BTW your picture is very pretty..!! Angela

    Looks like my False Perculas. Nice fish. I love the markings. Real mellow swimmers.
