True Perc Found.

[OCDP]

It's been a rough week for me and the tank. I've been super discouraged but things are mellowing out.

Bought a pair of true perc's on Tuesday which settled in very well.. amazing fish. Unfortunately I woke up today to find the female on the carpet I thought my Coralife PC fixture would have for sure kept the fish inside the tank, but I guess she cleared the small space between the tank and fixture.

Anywho, long story short, I would like to find another larger true percula to get a mated pair again here. If you see any true percs around town let me know or shoot me a PM. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I was so confused when I saw the title of this thread.. Sorry to hear about the carpet surfer.

Yeah, I figured some would be.

It really sucks... something must have startled her in their sleep, because as of 11:30pm they were asleep on the bottom corner of the tank..

What sucks even more is that I woke up, looked in the tank, didn't see the two clowns together, looked on the floor, and the fish was literally an inch from my foot (almost stepped on the poor bugger)

I picked him up, cupped him into the tank with my hand to see if there were any signs of life... no luck. The female was so beautiful too.. I guess this is what I get for not covering it up. I honestly thought that the fixture would stop a larger fish from jumping... but she must have made that small clearance.

Errrrr!!! I hate mix matching clown pairs... I'll never find the same beautiful female.. just amazing colouration on her

AAnnnnddd. end rant..

Sorry for your loss.

I saw a pair of true percs yesterday at Ocean City. You may want to trade the single in and get an existing pair to avoid the mixed matching.

Hmm, the last pair of true perc's I seen at ocean city were the one's I purchased haha.

I wonder if they got more in?

You could be right. "Yesterday" may have been Tuesday.
