i hate to say this... but petco in humble has three. i saw them today when i picked up some salt and even though the tanks and everything else looked not so good, they looked very good adn expensive @ $39.99 ea. LMK if you rescue them. im right around the corner.

Thats cheap for the onyx Most sell for 49.99+ I'll have to check at my petco. I know that they have the black and white Percs. So there might be a chance..

dunno, they could be black and whites. i did not take that close a look.

Excuse my noob ignorance but what is the difference between the Onyx and the black and white Percs? I too saw some of the what I guess where the black and whites at the Petco at 45 and 646 in League City. Same price...$39.99.

Black and white percs

Black Onyx True Percs

Im going to have both types of clownfish in a 210. I got the black and whites just need the onyx.
Thanks for the help.

Its possible to keep both type in the same tank provided they are far enough apart, but it may end up in disaster.

perculas and occellaris are similar enough that they do/will interbreed. Its possible that the two females could fight it out for dominance and end in disaster.

They are going to be in a 7ft tank 2 on each side. I was going to put them in at the same time, hopefully to avoid disater. The black and whites are still real small, will that help any?

Youll wind up with one of 2 outcomes.

1) You get what you want to happen and the two pairs (with possible domain issues, but large enough they should be fine)

2) Youll get a harem of clowns that youll have 1 female 1 male and 2 nonsexed out of the 4. There will be some in fighting to determine tank, but normal.

That sure would be a differnt breed if they were to mate. might be kinda cool! LOL Thanks for the tips.
