    Color morph clowns ? compatability with other clowns

    i was at my lfs today and i saw a really peculure fish a platinum clown and a midnight clown( both color morphs of percula) so i was curious do these get along with normal percula clowns or will fighting happen because of color differences. are they breedable ( 1 of each) i know sexing is another subject and it will be more then a chalenge to get young enough to get a male and female but these fish were pretty amazing compared to other species comonly encountered im even considering posibly a mini bow( corner) or maybe a hexagon tank 30-40 gallons i think. im just wantin some info on these they really caught my eye

    As long as they're truely the same species (all percula or all occelaris), they'll interbreed regardless of color. even perc/occelaris crosses are getting common.
    as far as sexing goes, buying your second fish from within a group of clowns will almost always insure a male, as long as you don't buy the largest within that group.

    To mate a pair of Anemonefishes of the smaller size, you should have no less than a 39 to 45 gallon aquarium. Initially choose two fishes that are different in length by no less than .75 inches.
