True Percula? yes or no

Hello all, i just got a "true percula", i know the store pretty well but the fish dont really looks the mine...i have have heard that some true's dont have alot of black on then but is there any way to tell...im gona take a pic as soon as its in the tank

 

well i need to find a new battery. hes in the tank and they r kinda swimming together but my for sure true percula is the darker orange and this new one is more like the light orange of the falsies...the pplz at the fish store said that they told the distributors that they thought it was a false but that they said that i just looked like that...how much of that can i believe?

 

Don't true percs take awhile to develope their black stripes? I'm not so sure, Ocellaris clowns (I assume that is what you mean by false percs) are just as cool of fish... Does it matter really?

Anyway, pics will help for sure.

 

it wouldnt but i want to breed them...and i know that somtimes they can cross breed i dont think its that often...well they were swimming together but i think they fought and now they r swimming on other sides of the tank...i might just return him and get one that im sure is a true...dont worry bout him hes in a nice 300 gal reef...i drool when i see their acros lol...but im pretty sure its a false...arg...its so annoying..becuase u will not confuse a true with a false...since they r much more orange and not the neon orange but this one is kinda inbetween...i just wanna make sure i have the same species

 

i got a pic but now my camera program is messed up lol...ill try tomarrow...i think ill either end up returning it or put them both in my large tank and get 2 new true perculas...man if i bring back the other one will my first true percula be sad lol...

 

ARG OK NO MORE TAKEING THEM BACK...they r both in the rose anemone at night...o well...they r both staying!

 

Maybe this will be of some help

 

Nice fletch....the dorsal ray count id my favorite method...has never failed me in the long run. Gotta take a pic or pin the fish to use it though.....got any pics bruce..if you get a close side shot it would be fairfly easy to tell.

 

i will once i get a new camera battery...but they r best buds now so...lol if i take it back mine will be depressed...lol is it usual that one clown will be in the anemone and the other will be close to it? or will they usually be in at same time most of the time only one is in, the new one but somtimes i see both

 

hmm...this is odd...now the new one is in the anemone non stop but the origonal one i had is not...my sis (off from school today) said that during the day they were both in it...does anyone know if the more dominent one will be in there more often?

Edit: they seem to be done with most of the fighting, now they r both in the anemone but i think they r still fighting...they dont come out for food lol...guess to see whose stronger...a few scraps but nothing that bad, ill keep u all posted
