Could I keep Perculas with Clarki or Tomatoe

[martinhal]

Hi All,

This may be a stupid question

Could I get an African Clownfish / Clarki or a Tomatoe with my 3 Percula clowns or will this end in tears ?

Tears without a doubt.

Clarkii and Percula does not like each other at all:

never been a guy too like mixing different species of clowns in the same system unless it is rather large and can accomodate enough anemones to help establish a territory to try keep the various pairs etc apart, even so there is bound to be a bit of conflict... being someone who loves clarkii clowns i unfortunatley dont keep them anymore due to their agressive and fast growing nature... not in my current system anyway.. but i will try one again when i go bigger..

Ok thanks guys , its one or the other. Percs it is then .

Not recommended!

it could end up as "Finding Nemo 2"

"Perc are much more aggressive (They fight for their territory), hence me taking it out of my system. It used to bite Alida's hand and physically "broke"skin
