My 29 gallon has been set up since early April. Right now all I have in there is a tiny occ. clownfish, cleaner shrimp, and a CUC. I went to my LFS today and saw that they had some black ocellaris clownfish. The problem is I already have a clownfish in the tank and the ones that were for sale were the exact same size as mine. Will this be a problem? Will the two clowns fight too much or will it just be a short-lived scuffle until they sort out the dominance?

In my opinion, you should wait and find a mate that is noticeably larger than your current specimen. They will still ruffle but the larger should be dominant and become your female.
