clownfish dilemma

[ringo1826]

i had a mated pair of regular percula clowns. then due to a strange occurrence of my anemone eating my fish one "died". i removed the anemone and returned it to my LRS , but now i only have one clownfish. the one has already hosted a BTA and i would like to keep him if possible. should i try introducing a new clownfish ( is there a species that would adapt better)? or should i take the one clown out and spend the money on a pair.

how long has the fish been alone?Was it the female or male?

 

[ringo1826]

5-6 days and it was slightly larger than the other one so im guessing female.

(im not to intrested in breeding just keeping more than one)

He asked, because if you put two females together, they will relentlessly fight. I would go buy another small perc, that came in with a batch. That way it has the highest chance of being unsexed, or a male.

ooo ok cool thanks... and i should stick with the same species?

Go with a perc or ocellaris of any variety would be bet.

do you think getting a black on might be better?? possibly confuse the one in there?
