And then there were 2?

I currently have a DaVinci Clownfish that is medium size, @2", and I want to add another to the tank. Has anyone had luck with adding a new clown to an established one, paired with a RBTA, and they pair up?
Thx

Yes make sure he is smaller she usually will not let him host.

So, if he's smaller then there is a chance she'll let him in the door?:)

Clown dont become a female till their bigger getting a smaller one will ensure he stays male.

As long as its a male or juvenile they will pr.

Just to be clear, you have to find a clown that is "small", not just smaller than your current. A clown kept by itself will eventually transition to female regardless of it's size.

To increase your chances, find a tank at the LFS with multiple clowns and choose one of the smallest. The largest in the tank has the potential to have already become a female. They can change to female, but not back.
