Keeping clowns

[Jschoon]

One of the 2 clowns I have died today. Got sucked into the overflow and trapped. Probably that same one I post the pic of a couple months ago. Now that I have just one will it be fine or should I get another to have a pair?

Thanks - Joe

if you get another to have a pair the one that is already there the other one might attack it just leave it and than if u want another pair return the one u have now and get another pair

+1. They would almost for sure fight.

If you do get another one, get one that is either noticably smaller or larger than the other one. It will help settle who is the dominant one

this is what my LFS told me to do and it works u can get another clown but take the other one out than put it in a bucket container what ever than add both clownfish at the same time so they will both be confused and they will get along and it works

As long as the new clown is either bigger or smaller,you shouldnt have much if any problems.
