Black Percula

Anyone know if you can keep black percs with the standard orange? & will they pair up/mate?

i think interspecies bonding is somewhat hit or miss, depending on the individual... i've heard of ocellaris and perculas pairing, but not spawning. also i would think GSM would be exempt from this little experiment. if you introduce them at the same time to the tank, likely your chance of success will be greater, as well.

From what I understand black "perc" is a color morph of A. ocellarius that has a very limited distribution in the wild (Northern Australia I think). So if you have an ocellarius clown then I suppose it would be possible for them to breed. Might be a question better suited to an experienced clownfish breeder however.

I have had both living togetyher quite comfortably for a while. I am not sure if they will mate though.
