Default Re: True Percula? yes or no
well i need to find a new battery. hes in the tank and they r kinda swimming together but my for sure true percula is the darker orange and this new one is more like the light orange of the falsies...the pplz at the fish store said that they told the distributors that they thought it was a false but that they said that i just looked like that...how much of that can i believe?

Don't true percs take awhile to develope their black stripes? I'm not so sure, Ocellaris clowns (I assume that is what you mean by false percs) are just as cool of fish... Does it matter really?

Anyway, pics will help for sure.

Default Re: True Percula? yes or no
it wouldnt but i want to breed them...and i know that somtimes they can cross breed i dont think its that often...well they were swimming together but i think they fought and now they r swimming on other sides of the tank...i might just return him and get one that im sure is a true...dont worry bout him hes in a nice 300 gal reef...i drool when i see their acros lol...but im pretty sure its a false...arg...its so annoying..becuase u will not confuse a true with a false...since they r much more orange and not the neon orange but this one is kinda inbetween...i just wanna make sure i have the same species

hmm...this is odd...now the new one is in the anemone non stop but the origonal one i had is not...my sis (off from school today) said that during the day they were both in it...does anyone know if the more dominent one will be in there more often?

Edit: they seem to be done with most of the fighting, now they r both in the anemone but i think they r still fighting...they dont come out for food lol...guess to see whose stronger...a few scraps but nothing that bad, ill keep u all posted
