Lost a 6 year old clown; now "Nacho" is alone.

[glweek]

So ive had a clown pair for over 6 years now and i came home the other day to "Horchata" stuck to my powerhead lifeless.:( No idea why everything else in the tank was fine...maybe it was just her time to go. So the male is now alone with a royal gramma and sapphire damsel. Can i get Nacho a new buddy? if so how would i go about doing it? do i get a smaller clown, or a bigger one? if i get a smaller one will Nacho change sex? Nacho is a pretty laid back and happy little guy, Horchata was a raging nip your fingers and arms untill you bleed, bully the other fish, aggresive son of a biscut so i feel like a new addition will go very well in contrast with how relaxed the old Nachismo is. Thanks for your help

Just to be on the safe side get a smaller clown. It takes months for a male to become the dominate female so you're still in the safe zone.

Weird way for a healthy clown to die, it must have been asleep and wandered into the power head, an otherwise healthy clown should not have any difficulty moving away a power head.

About a month ago I lost my male clown fish. Last week I bought a small clown about 1/3rd her size. After about 2 days she accepted him and he settled into the RBTA they are hosted in.
