Adding a black perc to existing tank with other orange/white perc

Any suggestions on if I should or should not delve into adding a black perc to my existing tank. I have a 28 Nanocube with a general perc that has been living in there for at least 6 months. I am considering adding the black one but I am reluctant due to possible fighting and acclimation of a new perc into the tank. My original perc is about 2 inches long and the black one I am looking at is slightly smaller. Suggestions on attempting this?

I also have a african flameback, tailspot blenny, and two-spot hogfish in the tank. The african flameback and two-spot can be a bit terretorial as well. I appreciate the feedback in advance.
 
This may be my sole opinion but that seems like the tank might be overstocked with another fish or so, I mean you do have a lot of live rock and sand and a great skimmer so maybe you can pull it off...
and the two clowns would probably be very territorial in that tank
 
It wouldn't be too difficult to pair up, but agree, heavy bio already, and the fact you already have fish being territorial in a small tank...

I agree with this. If you're already having territorial issues, adding another territorial fish is probably not a good idea.
