Don't know your exact situation, but 2 is likely the best.

if im to return it to the LFS, they'll only might accept another replacement(i hope)..its not refundable.

I started off with 6 tank raised ocellaris clowns. I'm down to 4. 2 jumped out. They do fight from time to time but they are still there. I've had them for about 6 months now and they are in a 45 gal tank.

I have 3 tank raised Ocellaris and 1 true perc. They all seem to get along well. Every now and then the perc chases them around but not often. The three Ocellaris are all different sizes 1 is2.5 inches, 1 is 2 inches and 1 is 3/4 inch. Don't know if that helps but they don't fight at all

what size tank are you running, without the saddlback 4 occelaris *might* be fine, but eventually two will pair off and then go on definitive for the other two. decide what you want to keep and trade the others to your LFS for credit.

i think if u keep all 3 ocellaris, they'd be fine.
2 of them would pair up, and the other might remain neutral, or they might bully him. so just watch for that.

I have 3 in my tank and they get along fine.... I also have a clarki on the other side of the tank...

Its a hit and miss thing

Good luck
