I have a question about clownfish.

I was going to get a pair of B&W ocellaris clownfish, but in the back I my mind I knew that I really liked the naked ones. Do you guys know if I could make a pair of 1 Naked and 1 B&W clownfish? I read like both, but I am not sure if the Naked is a variant of Ocellaris or Percula.

 

[redsea]

I would say yes because the Naked Clown is from the ocellaris family.

Cool I thought one website was calling it a Naked Percula, but I re-read it and it said Naked FALSE Percula

Ah, I see, you must have been happy to see that!

A new LFS opened up 10 minutes away a few weeks ago, and I kept forgetting about it. I decided I wanted to check them out, and I needed dry rock/sand for the new Biocube. They were awesome!!! They specialize in non-common SW fish! Of course they had a few common ones, but mainly really cool fish. A quarter of their tanks were filled with diamond watchman gobies, which I found odd, but cool! Practically 1/2 of their tanks are devoted to clownfish. They had Naked ones even!!! Like 6 of them! They also had b&ws. So I know where I am getting my fish they had all of my stocklist. Even ORA spotted mandys. New favorite store the place is well kept up and the people are knowledgable and nice.

 

[Greenturtle]

Oh, and I got my rock and sand from them too. 15 lbs of Pukani dry rock and 15 lbs of aragonite. I thought my rockscape was really cool, and then I put the sand in. Before and after...

 

[Greenturtle]

I am kinda stuck on what clownfish to buy. Which grouping do you guys think would look good TOGETHER?

1. 2 Black And White
2. 2 Naked
3. 1 Naked and 1 Black and White (I am just not sure that they will look aesthetic together)

I personally would get combo 3. I like variety!
