Default true percs

Ok so if introduced last into the tank, will two true percs terrorize my bullet goby, firefish, and royal gramma?

Although clowns are part of the damsel family, if they are true percula clowns, they are the least aggressive of the family.

The biggest problem you could face with two clowns is them fighting with each other. A mated pair will always do best.

They clowns should not bother your other fish.

the biggest no no is to mix two different kinds of clowns in the same tank

it's hard to say. I know you can purchase mated pairs online. it's hard to say if the two clowns you purchase will be act as a pair. it's kind of a 50/50 chance.

Here are some possible scenarios:

The clowns will get along (accept each other)
The clowns will act as a pair
The clowns will fight with each other once they've grown up

This would have been a great thread in the "Anemones and Clownfish" forum.
