black and white occelaris? onyx percs?

[Melonbob]

I have your standard everyday occelaris clown in my tank, Shampoo. Unfortunately conditioner died a few months back, and he/she has been alone since. I really want a black/white occelaris, or an onyx perc. Will either of these pair up with my current occelaris, or do I have to get rid of him and get a new pair?

I'd say that you got a 50/50 chance of them pairing up.

[dustin_P74]

if they do pair and have fry then you should try your hardest to get those fry to hatch and survive cause you could get some kool looking clowns from those two

[Melonbob]

now, when you say 50/50, do you mean the b/w occelaris, or the onyx perc, or either?

[dustin_P74]

either of them

Black and white clowns are genetically altered version of percula or ocellaris.They say it's okay to mix false perculas,percula and black/white clowns since they are just a variation of the same fish.Nothing is a guarantee in this hobby,you have a good chance it will work.

I seen other threads were a black/white were paired with either a false or true percs.

I agree you got a good chance, but no guarantee.

Give em a shot.Nothing ventured,nothing gained.

I only have tried it once at the early start of my fish career. I tried to keep an ocellaris and a perc together. the perc kicked the hell out of the ocellaris in about 3 hours and it was dead. I have given up with that thought. Hope you have better luck
