Another Amphiprion Polymnus

Can I put a different kind?

Nope, any other clown you throw in will probably die..

You mean her. That's my picture of my female Saddleback Clownfish. She's not friendly to her partner and she will kill other types of Clownfish.
She is presently 5" long. (Big enough to take on a full grown Maroon Clown.) And mean. Really mean.

Gary,
I just used your pic as an example, sorry.

In the picture I can see another clown on the top right corner. Is that another saddle back?

I don't mind people using my pictures as long as the photo is credited to me.
The other fish you see in that picture is a male Saddleback which is a friendly ORA "brownie". The female is a wild caught "blackie".
The big female caused another (3rd) smaller WC black Saddleback to jump out of the aquarium and she killed one other ORA brownie.

Yep, black saddlebacks are nasty! My female(2.5 in.) always beat the crap outta the smaller male(less than 2 in.) and killed my royal gramma. this happened in a 90 gal tank! The female was so dominant that the male would wait until she's done feeding before he takes a bite.
I had to do a major re-aquascaping before adding my 3rd royal gramma, so far they seem to get along fine.
