Lost a female clown - what size to add back in?

[PGD123]

So I had a pair of young clownfish in my 24G AIO, usual fluttering, posturing, always together - have not laid eggs (only a watchman goby/pistol shrimp in there with them). Forgot to place the top on the tank the past few nights - what I assume to be the female (larger, thicker) decided to leap out - found her dead on the floor in the morning
How do I go about adding another clown to pair up with my current 1.5" male...? Go smaller and hope he morfs into the dominant female or get a larger potentially female clownfish and hope they play nice?
Thanks!

Go smaller. The bigger of the two will usually change into the new female.

Sorry to hear about the fish. If it were me, I’d go for a clown about 1 inch or less.
The current male is now the dominant fish, and may not take to a competitor even if it hasn’t fully transitioned yet.

larger doesn't necessarily mean it will be female, it might be an older male. IMO better to get a smaller one

Smaller it is... Thanks!
