I've seen a few odd pairs in aquaria. Not that particular pairing, but it could work. I have a nice hybrid Occellaris x Frenatus from friend. He hadn't deliberately tried to pair them and was surprised when the paired up an successfully bred. That said, I'm not a fan of deliberate hybridization of fish species.

I had a GSM female and a Perc paired for just over a year before finding each a proper mate. Anything is possible but just keep a close eye on each for any aggression/injury to one another.

What would be better?
A smaller clarkii, so the female would be the OC (i think this way the clarkii would be less agressive)
Or a smaller OC, so the female would be the clarkii?
Thanks, augusto
