Hi All,
I have been keeping a Clown Fish now for a bout a year now and i dont know what sort of Clown fish it is? Im thinking of buying another to pair it up. I'd like to find out if it is an Ocelaris Clown or a Perculia Clown.... How do i know the difference?
Can somone please help?

I agree, it is an ocelaris clown aslo known as a false percula. If you want to get another one, get one that is bigger than the one you currently have to prevent aggression. The big clown will also be the female and the smaller one will be the male. You can tell the difference from a false perc. and a true perc. by the black around the stripes. True percs. usually have more black around the white stripes than a false perc. A false perc. usually has just a thin black border on the white stripe. The black and white clowns are also false percs. HTH. Welcome to AA!
