Hi Jim. Thanks for posting.
An interesting question. The two fishes do not pair up in the wild because their territories don't overlap. However, in the aquarium they will likely pair up. IMHO they should have at least a 40 gallon aquarium, pretty much to their own.
Amphiprion percula and A. ocellaris will often pair up in captivity when an appropriate conspecific is not available. The hybrid offspring (called Percularis) will be fertile. They will inherit traits of both species.
Several species of Anemonefishes interbreed and produce hybrids in the wild.

"If both of your fish are juveniles, the more aggressive one will eventually become the female and the other one will become the male. It is even possible that they could pair up and breed. Amphiprion percula and A. ocellaris will often pair up in captivity when an appropriate conspecific is not available. The hybrid offspring (called Percularis) will be fertile. They will enherit traits of both species.
Several species of clownfish interbreed and produce hybrids in the wild. These two species do not only because their natural ranges do not overlap."
looks like i may try it .....
