Get 2 at the same time both the same size and preferably small ones that way they can decide who will wear the pants in the familly.
I'm making plans to buy 2 perculas since my tank seems to be stable after being set up for over 9 months.
Should I try to buy 2 the same size and the same time or
should I buy one now and another in a week or so of different sizes?
My tank is a 29gal with dsb, LR, protein skimmer
Thanks

Thanks tendar, that's what I'll do![]()
Second that! Two juveniles will usually mature into a mated pair. I just got a pair three weeks ago and they are inseparable. Very nice addition to any tank.
It aint' pretty being easy.
a good stocking list. also consider adding some shrimp and a yellow clown goby to the tank for more color. and expanding the other fishes lives with the Scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp's
If you want to have a mated pair, buy one that is about 1.5 inches larger than the other.
Anemonefishes will 'fight' to determine gender. This is very stressful on both fishes. Starting out with different sizes reduces the tension and puts them on the right track as to who will be the male and female. I have seen fishes of the same size kill one off in their attempt to determine who will be the female.
