Adding a clownfish to a single clownfish tank?

[cMan5]

There is a small prelude to this story.. When I purchased my tank about three years ago, I bought two black ice clownfish! They were both smaller as I was told one would become more bossy "aggressive?" Eat more food and become the larger (female) of the two. Well that happened, they seemed to live fine together. I have a biocube 29g. After about two years, i was noticing the "bullying" become all the time. Any time I would do maintainece sticking my hand in the tank, the female goes bonkers on my hand. The male wouldn't seem to bother. As of three/four months ago the male is now deceased. Sadly I watched his health decline as he constantly was picked on. I would seperate the two with a net and feed the male to make sure he ate. One day I came home and found him in horrible condition. He was barely swimming, laying on his side in the corner of the tank.. Sad :(

Anyways the female is left. She has found two of my bushier zoanthid/paly colonies- and hangs out between the two. Really cool, it's like she's hosted them. The colonies don't seem to mind. I try to get a picture but she always comes out once I approach the tank.

I am curious.. I wouldn't mind adding another clown, I've always wanted a platinum or gladiator design.. Is adding another clown going make this female more aggressive and kill it as well? Is there a more suitable reef friendly fish I could add to my biocube?

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Short summary: how do I add a fish to a tank that currently has one aggressive fish? Do I?

Rearranging your aquascape would help, this would make your aggressive clown fish much less territorial and aggressive.
