My next fish

tangreef68 · 02/19/2006, 10:00 AM

I am setting up a 60 gallon reef tank, i am going to get a pair of clownfish, which should i get?

Andrew · 02/19/2006, 10:10 AM

I say True Percula only because Ive got a pair in my 75 gallon tank.

derinmetly not tomatoe, thoe go crazy and kill fish randomly ive seen it on my frineds old 30, he got a new andelfish, 2 hours later it was dead and the tomatoe just attacked it

I agree about the tomatos. Very aggressive. Same with the maroons. If you go with a single clown, get a clarki. Especially if you want a host anenome. Clarki's host just about anything.

If you want a pair, then get the percs.

tangreef68 · 02/19/2006, 10:33 AM

thanks, i really like the ocellaris and perculas because of their bright orange color, i will probably go with one of those.

I was not thinking of getting a tomatoe, i just was wondering who thought i was able too, which seems like no one.

goalieman92 · 02/20/2006, 09:12 AM

i say get two juvinile gsm's after you have most of the fish you want

know-it-all · 02/20/2006, 09:31 AM

how about some naked clowns

Reefjunkee · 02/20/2006, 10:15 AM

true

tangreef68 · 02/20/2006, 10:48 AM

those are really nice fish, i have never seen anything like them. Where did you get them?

know-it-all · 02/20/2006, 10:51 AM

I think they originaly came from ORA
(same people that brought you the mis-bar percula's and snow-flake's)

they are not cheap, but they are cool

Aqua_expert19 · 02/20/2006, 10:59 AM

get BLACK PERCS

rjwilson37 · 02/20/2006, 11:20 AM

True Perc's are good clowns to get.

rlschne · 02/20/2006, 11:45 AM

if swinging $80+ on a pair of black clowns scares you as much as it did me, you can buy a regular ocellaris and a black one like I did.. great contrast to each other...

tangreef68 · 02/20/2006, 01:14 PM

thanks a lot, this is awesome information, i am thinking about tank bred true percs, a pair.

jimbo045 · 02/20/2006, 02:24 PM

Perculas are friendly. JD

They are awesome. so are the piccasso percs but those are like $350 each

tangreef68 · 02/23/2006, 07:46 AM

i really like black percs, but a pair can be really expensive.

RichConley · 02/23/2006, 09:13 AM

I've found occelaris to be much less aggresive than percula, so take into account anything else you have in the tank.

How about a pair of pink skunk clowns
