Yes they are compatible, the larger one was the female the males are generally smaller. Clown fish have the ability to change sex. The largest male will change sex to make a mating pair. The female will be the dominate fish and may chase the male a little, it's normal. You should not have a problem if you replace it. If you have a jumping fish problem a friend taught me a trick, take some plastic bird netting and put that over the top of the tank. Be careful the light doesn't melt it though.

I got a small marine tank for Christmas yesterday with a clownfish and a yellow tail damsel. I realized it is a rare mis-barred clownfish. That makes me quite happy.

Iv had this fish for 1 year and is a great fish to have! It is very active and is very nice to its tank mates. My clown fish sometimes swims with my coral beauty angel fish. It is a little greedy when it comes to feeding.

| Some of the bestest comments - here's the beef! | ||
I dont find these fish aggresive at all Ive had them before, for 2-3 years and have never found them aggresive. In fact Ive had them being picked on and or just left alone.

Hey Ya'll, Quick question, Never maintained a salt water aquarium before. My son has a 24"x24"x24" tank. We moved it from his apartment to my home, since he's going to Afghanistan for 1 year. We moved it on the 26th of Dec. 2009, The flamming angel has a white tip on it's face and beginning of tail is whitish. Thought it may have been stress due to the move, but has not regained color since. Bought some 100% organic fungicide for that. The tank has been working fine. Last night my wife fed the fish. One small & one large common clown. This afternoon I found the large one on the floor, must have jumped out overnight. Looking to replace it - But are they compatible separately? they were both as a pair.

Hi, dont know if anyone can answer this. I want to set up a marine tank and wondering if 2 percula clowns will be fine in a 60 lt tank to themselves.
