I’ve had a decent sized maroon clown for around a year now. Was my first fish so don’t really want to rehome her but the question is what’s the odds of her picking on a pair of new clowns if I added them. My pet sore sells pairs was thinking of picking up some snows or something. She’s housed in a 75g tank

Based on my experience with my Maroons I would say it’s a bad idea. If it were a 200 g tank you would probably be ok but I wouldn’t risk it with a 75 gallon tank

Maroon's are one of the more aggressive clowns and I wouldn't recommend this. That tank is already her's.

Adding another pair won't work. Only hope would be to add 1 small clown. I'd make sure you use an acclimation box also. Maroons have a bad reputation for their tempers.
