So, I would like to add a second clownfish to my 75g. I have had a lone ocellaris for about 2.5 years. It is still smallish, maybe a little more than 1". Should I be ok, in terms of aggression? Can I opt for a different clown coloration-maybe a black one, or snowflake and still be ok? If so, what size should the new clown be compared to old one- smaller or same size? Thanks ahead of time.
 
You can certainly go for the snowflake or black clown, just be sure to choose one that is still a juvenile to be sure it hasn't turned female yet. Yours could very well have started the transition into female and if you brought home another that has started that transition as well, it could be a bad situation.
 
Other colors are fine :) But you need to be sure you get a male. Smaller then the one you have and from a pack of other small ones is the way to go.

Do expect some aggression.... some is normal.
