Default Percs....

I prefer a true perc simply for their looks. I believe they are the same in terms of care. You might have better luck with tank raised however.

ocellaris is definitely much easier to keep and hardier than true perculas. However most people like percula for their look (especially the darker variants or stranger patterned ones - onyx, picasso etc.)

wrt tank raised, ocellaris grows much faster than percula. On average it takes an t.r. ocellaris to reach maturity at around 1-1.5 yrs and 3 yrs+ for t.r. percs.
