Adding clown fish

[mforde]

Hi there,
I started my 32gal tank with 2 clown fish and since then one has died. Is it okay to add a single clown fish of similar size but different type in with another one, will they get along? Might be a stupid question but I don’t want them to stress out or bully each other

Sorry to hear about the clown.
Breed does not matter, but they may get along better if they are the same breed.
They do have to be different sizes though, as in the new one has to be much smaller. This is the only way to ensure that they will get along and not fight for domininance, as you will have a male and female, and not risk 2 females.

Thanks, I’ll make sure it’s smaller
