    Can a yellow false percula & maroon gold striped clown fish be paired?

    I had a pair of two maroon gold striped clownfish. But the male died. I purchased a yellow false percula because there were no maroons the size I wanted available. Good idea or bad?? Should I just return the yellow false percula and wait for the next shipment to get another maroon? :confused:

    Bad.... They won't pair up together but they'll do fine in the same tank.

    It depends on the tank size. I usually do not reccommend keeping 2 types of clowns in a tank less than 100gal
