adding another clown

[Steve Maxwell]

I have a perc. clown in a 29G biocube (along with a coral beauty, firefish and pajama cardinal). I also had a pair of photon clowns, but one of the died (the smaller of the 2) in another tank that is getting torn down. Do you think it would be ok to add the photon to the 29G or would the 2 clowns fight...perc is a little bigger. Also, think that would be too much stock for a 29G?

Thanks!

First of all I'm afraid that the bigger one will go after the new smaller one.
Secondly, you are close to the limit on your cube.

I agree with Diesel, it is not good to add any new fish to the tank.....
How big is the percula? Is it bigger or smaller than the female photon? They are likely to pair up and kill the new clown....Also I am surprised the photon clown pair has not killed the percula...because often after they pair up, they chase off any other clowns...in small tank, that is a dead sentence for any other clowns..... specially smaller or weaker clowns

The percula and 2 photons have never been in the same tank together

That's what I figured, but worth asking
Thanks!
