Adding second clown

[BigRig450]

Well long story short i woke up this mornin to find one of my false percs lodged in my return pump down in my sump.i have only had them for about 2-3weeks and was wondering how hard it would be to had a true perc?I would say the remaining clown is about 1 1/2- 1 3/4" thanks for any help..

I'd get one smaller than the existing fish and you shouldn't have much trouble. If you have a breeder basket you can buffer their first meeting but it's not required for this type of clown.

Yup. you could get a smaller Ocellaris or perc. Most seem to live together just fine.

(I hate the term false perc. I don't agree with calling one species a false form of another.)

+3 on adding a smaller clown. Sorry for your loss; it's always difficult losing a fish. Good luck with the new pairing!
