arash53 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I bought these clownfish yesterday, are theses True Percula Clownfish? I put some mysis for them but they spit them out! another problem I have with them is digging , they digging sand and messing up the water! is this normal? It seems my frogspwn is too small for them to host. I want to buy something to host them,I guess if they host somewhere they stop digging. Thanks Link to comment
cameron1 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 the darker looks like onyx to me but could just be a dark perc since the other isnt that dark Link to comment
cameron1 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 sure it could be one onyx and one true perc but if you bought them from a breeder they are most likely the same breed Link to comment
arash53 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 I bought them from LFS but they told me they came from customer's tank they are not sure what they are! Link to comment
cameron1 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 whatever they are they look nice Link to comment
reef keeper Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 If their young their full colors haven't come in yet so maybe give it some time and then see what they are. If their percs the one with the most black probrally wouldn't get any more black on it but if a lot more of it turns black then it might be onyx. Link to comment

revaltion131 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 The female appears to be a percula while the male looks like an ocellaris. Link to comment
reef keeper Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I was thinking that too but wasn't sure because it looked like an misbar occellariss clown. Link to comment

arash53 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Are they doing that because they don't have anything to host? Link to comment
marinebiologist Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Are they doing that because they don't have anything to host? i dont think so, they do it because they can, haha. but my clown used to do that when i first got her, but has since stopped for whatever reason Link to comment
