2nd Allard Clown,Would You Chance It ?

[1boatnut]

Got 2 Allard Clownfish on 3-22
1 died on 3-25
The LFS will replace the Clown.

Question is after this Clown being the King of the tank for the last 3 weeks,would I be chancing putting in another Clown ? Think they would fight?

The current Clown does not bully the Chromis or Firefish,but has nudged the Flamehawk a few times.I'm not that concerned about the Hawk though as it can take care of itself.

The Clown right now definately cruises the tank as if it owns every inch.

Also got a Kole Tang that was kinda beat up. I put it in the tank and although I never saw the Clow attack it,the fish had some cut marks on its side(maybe from a piece of liverock?) and only managed to live 1 day. Again,never seen any fish attack it.
Now not sure if I should get another Kole too,or was it destined for doom due to the beating it got prior to me getting it?

So anyone with Allard Clown how are their attitudes?
Anyone with good Clown knowledge have any advice?

Thanks

P.S The tank is a 125 gal

you will probably just have to wait to see what size your new allardi is when it comes into your LFS. if its not too late, i would have your store call their wholesaler to request the smallest allardi they have in stock. hopefully their version of "smallest available" is smaller than your current remaining fish. this would be the best outcome. otherwise, you might be better off having your store order two allardi: a small one and a large one. and simply trading back in your lone clown.

I was kinda kicking around the same ideas
