Timfish Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Juviniles of the different Percula and Ocellaris varieties can be paired usualy without problems. Keeping different species together is not recommended. Short term it can be done as juviniles but as they mature problems are most likely to develop. Only experienced aquarists that are willing to commit to maintiaining them in large tanks for the 20 to 30 years they live should be attempting pairs or trios of different species together.

Mikesilverado8888 Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 That what I thought but the dude at the fish store said it was ok. I got a Picasso clown and I wanted to get one of those white and black ones but I guess I won't Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 A Picasso and a black and white (Darwin) ocellaris should be fine together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpb Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Generally a no-no to put clowns of different species in the same tank, but I've seen it done in the short term where they don't even acnowledge each other's presence (like maroon + occy for example). These are all cases of juveniles of less than 3". If you go trying to put an adult Clarkii with an adult maroon clown in just about any home aquaria, one is dying in short order 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
