Gold Stripped Maroon Clownfish & Two Percula Clownfish

Jasonanatal · 08/17/2007, 08:50 PM

After a recent stop to my favorite local fish store in Greenwhich, CT "House of Fins" and purchased two Percula Clownfish to add to my Reef Aquarium. However, I already have a very large Gold Stripped Maroon Clownfish that I was going to remove and place in my sump but I cannot catch her. I was curious to know if the Gold Stripped Maroon Clownfish will be a threat or bully to the two Percula Clownfish? I'm new with owning clownfish in a pair and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I think you should be ready to pull the Percs out. They will be easy to catch. Hopefully they won't be too beat up before you get them out.

Well the good thing is that the two Percula Clownfish a currently making a temporary residence in my Sump. I am going to redo my rockwork in my aquarium to provide a more open swimming environment and also to catch the Gold Stripped Maroon Clownfish for removal. Thank you for the information.

Well this morning it was all said and done. I attempted to catch my Gold Stripped Maroon Clownfish and with no avail. So I broke down the entire Reef Aquarium and re-aquascaped the rockwork. Everything is much better now and my two new Percula Clownfish are happy in their new home.
