    They will not pair up or breed. They may get along for a while but aggression could flare up latter. A perc and false perc can and will pair and breed. A black perc is called a onyx perc. It's a cool fish though. Keep them both see what happens.

    Gah well I just paired it with a regular percula clown... they seem to be getting along.. it is just them in the tank right now... should I take one out? Will they still mate/pair?

    lol, good to hear, either way no matter what it was without proper identification it would have been impossible to sustain in any tank assuming it wasn't bad and sustaining itself on your livestock, lol. I occasionally "test" the lfs with quations I already know the answer to just so I know who making stuff up to get the sale. I once saw a nudi in a frag tank that I know only eats a certain type of sponge and is toxic when it dies so I asked the LFS salesman what to feed it and he said "oh they just filter feed you don't ever have to feed it anything" a week later I returned to the store to find everything in that frag tank dead and the nudi "missing" so make sure you research everything

    Thanks! I gave it to my LFS- they were happy to take it, and I was glad to not have to kill it lol
