I wouldn't be afraid of them fighting, I would be afraid of the Maroon killing the Perc. There is a huge difference in adult size and temperment. Maroons are the most aggressive of clowns and percs being one of the more docile ones. Just my opinion. I wouldn't try it. I once tried a pair of small Clarkii's with a small pair of Percs in a 55 and the Clarkii's constantly harrassed the percs so the percs got moved. Hope this helps.

Guy W,

It depends. If the maroon is tank raised it may not be a problem. If the Maroon has an anemone it may not be a problem in a 125. I've added other clowns including False Pecrs to tanks with tank breed maroons on more than one ocassion without a problem.

I don't know for sure if the maroon is tank raised. I'm guessing no but I honestly have no idea.

I probably shouldn't risk it, just in case. But some day if I have another tank of if my maroon should no long be with me, I'd like to have a small school of False Percs.

It is interesting, but in my tanks the false percs are the more aggressive of the two. I do not have any maroons that attack and bite me when I clean a tank. I have quite a few false pecrs that attack and bite me as I clean their tanks.

I tried yesterday to catch a maroon that was get kicked really good by a false perc in one tank.

I'll have to repeat latazyo's question, how old are they. I have trouble believing that a full-grown maroon clown will tolerate another clown of any flavor. I've heard too many stories otherwise.
