i recently had one of my two clown fish die. I have been delaying on getting another. I would like to get at least one regular ocellaris clown and I would like to get two black and white ocellaris.
Do you think they would be aggressive toward each other?
And is it ok to just get one regular ocellaris and the one already have will be accepting?

Rule for clowns for a “normal size” tank.

1 pair of the same type.

Different types will kill eachother and multiple clowns from different harems will also kill eachother untill 2 are left.

I would only do 2. Make sure they are different sizes when you get them or you will have issues pairing them up. The smaller one should come from a tank with many clowns in it. They should be male at that point. If you do 3, the 2 that pair up will most likely kill off the loner.
