Cool fish. Are they true percs? Those are my favs. I know they aren't special or anything, but just cool fish.

Cute guys!

Nice looking fish!

I don't know they were just labled percs so i guess ill just wait and see if they blacken up lol.. they were like 19 bucks each im not sure if true percs are more expensive or not..

 

[TRe]

true percs are usually more expensive but thos arnt true percs those are false percs/Ocellaris clowns .... nice looking fish tho! an looks like theve already paired up

 

[Joe Fish]

If they are captive bred they will also be cheaper than wild caught. They might be true percs, but it's hard to tell.

 

[TRe]

it not hard to tell at all... the black stripe between the white n orange is much thicker on a true perc

 

[Joe Fish]

When they are younger the black strip won't be that big. It will only get bigger as they age.

 

[TRe]

it wont be that big but itll be thicker than it is on his the stripe is thick when ther young and with age the space between the stripes will actualy be all black... ive had both and i can tell the differance trust me

 

[zoalover34]

Thanks for the comments guys! Hopefully they will start to breed.. Anyone know about how long it normally takes?

So whats the difference between these and Onyx if they both turn black inbetween the bars? Is it just the amount of black? Black fins?

I've always liked the pure black/white clowns and the Onyx clowns.

 

[TRe]

i really like the black/white ones too but true percs are definitly my favorite! onyx clowns are basically true percs, i think they may have a black dorsal fin too but there still ercs

I've been really happy with my ocellaris. They're very friendly little guys, but growing nicely. I kind of wanted the orange in my tank, rather than black and white. Of course, I already have the black and white banggais, so I didn't want more fish the same color. I also didn't want clowns that got big. Maroons and tomatoes are nice, but big fish tend to creep me out.
