Moving a clown

[Kyle Rinker]

I have a 125 gallon tank at home I'm shutting down. I am keeping my Innovative Marine 40 gallon at my office. I have 2 clowns in each tank. I have a beautiful (and huge) false percula and true percula at home. I have a Black Ice and Lightning Maroon at the office. I would like to move the false percula from home and put it in my office tank. I would then take the Black Ice clown and move it to my home tank. I am just concerned that the false percula may not get along well with the lightning maroon. I have never had any aggression from either fish. Any thoughts?

In each pair, do you know which one is the female and which is male? My concern would be if you paired up the two females theres a chance they won't get along.

Although I'm not 100% certain, I do not think this would be an issue. I am most certain the false percula at home is female due to its enormity of size. Although it's not a guarantee, I'm pretty sure the Lightning Maroon is a male. It's still a very young fish and is definitely smaller than the black ice it is with.
