pre-salty Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 COuld a percula clown work in a ten gallon. Believe me I don't care if you discourage me, that is why I am here to learn. Thanks:) -Joel Link to comment
sdbeazley Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Yes, a false or true perc would work in a 10. Most people including me have one. A pair would also work. Link to comment

pre-salty Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Is it possible to breed them in a 10? -Joel Link to comment
sdbeazley Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I don`t think so. Look at reef centrals Breeding and clown forums. Link to comment
pre-salty Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Thought so. Just wanted to know. -Joel Link to comment
Superdave Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I second what has been said above, a small percula wouldn't be a mistake...perhaps if they get somewhat larger they should be moved but in a tank that small, they will not grow as quickly (however, I'm sure there are exceptions) Link to comment
pre-salty Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 OK so what you are saying it isn't a sure fire thing that it is ok to keep them in a ten? -JOel Link to comment
kraphtymac Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I bred my true percs in a 7. It's possible. Link to comment
pre-salty Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 Wow! Good for you. I guess there is hope. Is it better for the fish to have an anenome? -JOel Link to comment
harleywilson Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 No anenome. Clowns do not need it and anenomes are very tough to keep. Get tank bred perc, it will never need an anenome. Link to comment
cadesun Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 if you are planning on trying to breed them, go without the anemone, it will only complicate things later on. also, when breeding clowns, water quality is the most importat factor, not tank size. keep up the water quality and i'm sure you will have no trouble getting eggs.

Krugar Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 What about alternate hosts? I thought I saw someplace that false percs might host in a mushroom or a xenia, but now I can't find the thread(s). Thanks! Link to comment
cadesun Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 hammer and torch are anemone alternates, however, they need to be large enough to handle a clown digging around in them. if the colony is too small, they will be damaged by the clown. xenia would probably work too. clowns host in some pretty strange stuff, it all depends on its personality. my maroon clown even tried to host in my green star polyps for a while.

Nemo_4_Ever Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Really so my 8.7G tank would be pretty much fine to put a clown in. Already got live rock, sand, water, filter, powerhead and some sort of worm in my LR lol. HELP ME IDENTIFY IT PLS, its like a centipede and its probably like 30 cm long!!! if not more!

Nemo_4_Ever Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 ok NVM! I turned the light off and it has come right out now, its a starfish ! It just went back in but woohoo! Link to comment
jcox Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Wow, you got a starfish hitchhiker?!?! Sweet! Lucky you! I have a ten gallon and am planning on having one or two clowns. So far I haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe they wouldn't do fine. I'm with a couple of the others here though, I'd stay away from anemones - they're tough to keep. Link to comment
KansasCoral-Nu-B Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 My False per's host my shrooms and zoo's.. wont touch my sebae.. fine by me.. Link to comment
