Fish Compatability

[Fishez]

I want 2 yellow stripe marron clowns , and I would rather have tank raised but I heard that #1 the tank raised clowns dont have the thick bands and cool markings as the wild ones, and #2 they dont get along very well (wild ones)- tank raised are not supposed to be as aggressive as the wild ones but I dont know, but Ive seen them together in the fish shop and they seem to get along ,and I also want a flame angel, any suggestions? oh and im trading my damsels in so they wont be a prob.

another question, will tank raised purcula clows use a bubble tip as a host? or just maroons?

If you do go with maroons get wild caught. Tank raised don't have the personality that wild caught do. In my experience flame angels are very aggressive and will nip at corals if your ever planning to keep corals. It will be sort of a 50/50% chance at the percula going in a BTA. Alot of people have had their percula go straight into a BTA and other people have had their perculas for years and they won't go in the BTA. Percula clowns do not go into BTAs in nature, but a BTA is the maroon clowns natural anemone. If your going to get two maroons I would suggest you introduce a very large one and a very small one at the same time.

as far as markings ive never really noticed a difference between wild and raised fish. but i would suggest raised and support the farm raising of fish but thats just IMO
