True vs False perc info?

todd_nano · 03-20-2003, 02:27 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to decide between purchasing a true perc pair or a false perc pair, and I'm having a lot of trouble making the choice. I've tried to find information comparing/contrasting the two, but the only differences I've come up with are that the false percs are hardier and the true percs grow to have some black bands outlying the white. Is it true that false percs are hardier? Are there any other differences? Is one better suited for a smaller/larger aquarium? (They are going in a 7g nano) Are there any personality differences? Well, thanks a lot for any info regarding these fish, and any pictures/personal stories you have of them would be great to see/hear about. Thanks.

Well false percs you can get rank raised which is a big plus but on the other hand 2 clowns in a 7 gallon tank is pretty tight for them. JMO

I have also read that Ocellaris Clowns are Hardier then Percula Clowns... I also know that Percula seem to be a tad more aggressive and territorial then Ocellaris and I agree a &g nano may be 2 small for the 2 of them....
