blue strip and true perc pairs pics

Just wanted to share some pics. I got my blue strip pair about 10 months ago when they were both about 3/4 inch. Now, the female is a little over 3 inches.
I had a clear barrier up for a while separating the two pairs, but saw that they were getting along since they could swim back and forth around it.
The female perc has never been aggressive since I got her 4 years ago. Even when they are laying eggs she lets the multicolor angel swim really close.
The two pairs feed together side by side then go back to there respective anemones. They have been this way for about 3 months now. Hope it stays this way!
Anyway, thought I would share with everyone some pics.

I got my true percs from a lfs in fountain valley about 3.5 years ago. they came straight off the boat from the solomon islands. The female must of had some growth hormone defect because she is huge.

Not really a defect but a characteristic of the solomon island female clowns. They are gorgeous


Oh, and a little off topic but I have fallen in love with your Scolymia. It is calling my name as I type!

Sorry to rain on your parade, but chrys will kill your percs. It's only a matter of time. Separate them, the sooner the better.

I'm with Marina. Once she gets a little more territorial all @%^% will break loose.

Well as for right now I can tell by there behavior that the two pairs dont mind eachother. If I see that the chrys get aggressive I will put the divider back up. I think I still have another few months before any trouble.
Marina, is it normal that the female is still aggressive towards the male bluestripe? She still doesn't allow him to go in the anemone.
