Adding another clownfish!!

[Zallman125]

I have 1 mocha clown fish it's a mix breed I've been told it's the more peaceful one out of them all he's about a inch or maybe tad bit smaller. I've had him for lil over 2 weeks and I have the chance to get another mocha clown fish for free but this mocha is about 2 inches big or tad bigger and both these clowns came from the same breeder/dealer I go through for my fish and corals. My clown I have now is very nice peaceful does not bother anybody in the tank I'm wondering if this new clown and mine will get along or fight ? I also have a 72 bow with 75lbs live rock

When I added an occelaris clown to my smaller "peaceful" occelaris clown, the smaller clown beat up on the newcomer for about two weeks. Now they are inseparable. I have a 63 gallon cube. Both are less than 2" long.

Don't mix females=death

There could be a chance your clown hadn't sexed yet or could still be a male. I would say it would be worth giving a shot since the new one is free. If they battle really bad you will probably want to remove one before any deaths occur.

Agree, get yourself a cheapo floating breeder box, petco sells them for like $5, the clear ones, and intro in that to be safe.
You should see if the existing is trying to attack it or just curious.

You should be fine at 1in the fish is about 3-8 moths old and I can almost guarantee this fish have not sexed if you want to play it safe go with the breeder box but I would say you are fine

Can take little as 2 weeks for sex change to start?
