Clown Fish

[bfield02]

I have recently purchased two clown fish on Picasso and on Percula. I have Long Tenticle Anemone and the percula will not let the Picasso into the anemone. Does anyone have any suggestions or reasons why?

Yes, they are different species and will not share the same anenome. If the tank is too small they will fight to the bloody death.

you may have to seperate them if they start to stress the anemone. or if your tank is big enough, you can get another anemone for your other clown.

A Picasso is an ocellaris clownfish, correct? If not, ignore the rest of what I have to say. If that is the case however, true and false percs are often times mated. There are even some scientists who say they're in fact the same species. Of course, I haven't heard about a mated Picasso and true Perc specifically. As far as how to convince them to get along, I'm afraid I'm not really sure.
