    He si still hiding behind the zoa rock. And my true perc is making sure he stays down there. I fed brine shrimp to everything today, and the new clown barely ate. I dont think he likes it. Its fine though, he is probably stressed out. I dont know how it'll end up, but we will see. I contacted the owner of the store (the person who sold me the fish) and asked him if he knew for sure if it was a true perc. I also asked some questions if it were a false, would it get along, yada yada. He answered back, now answering if it was a true or false, but just saying that he has kept true percs and false percs successfully in one tank. i dont think Ill be buying any more fish from that store.

    Also, he come out when the lights are off The second i turn off the atinics, he comes out. And my true perc doesnt force him back down. He is just chillin, swimming around the tank. And my true perc stays inside his anemone.

    So far this morning he she hasn't been forceing him to hide. She just hangs out by her anenome and he swims around the front. Now that it is out its more noticeable that its a false. I guess the lesson is to not by a fish out of a tank with no light?

    Well that's good. I think it will be fine. It doesnt make too much of a difference between the true and false, and if they do mate, you'll have a bigger chance of misbars (higher demand, higher price ;) ). I think the main problem was the existing one was already hosting. That can cause problems.
    And its only been a few days. That is actually really quick with clowns. It can take weeks sometimes ;)

    another thing is when i fed them this morning she didnt eat at all. She let him eat and she used to never let him eat. I thought it was wierd how she didnt eat at all. Usually she is right on it.
