Thinking of trying to pair a Ocellaris Clown to my one I have had in my 12 gallon nano for about 2.5 years. She is the only fish in there would that be too much of a bioload or can it be done.
 
I think it can be done. You will want to do regular water changes and not overfeed, but two ocellaris in a 12 gallon should be fine. I would suggest you get a small tank bred that will be a male. Most Petcos in this area have tank bred ocellaris and they are very hardy--I have a pair.
 
You should have no problems, but i might change the rockwork around. That will make new territory for both your new and old clowns.
