Clown Fish compatibility ?

[paddyob]

I thought the only true way to ident had to with the number of bones in their dorsal or something.

My Ocellaris have orange rings.

This is the first time I have heard this.


I have heard many folks keeping percs and oc together... Among other clowns ( In bigger tanks )

Have even heard of paired oc/perc.

The best way to tell the difference between the 2 is the eyes. Both have black centres to the eyes. Percula's outside of the eyes are then orange, the Occelaris outside are merky orangish black/brown.
