Clownfish experts - Please chime in

[Soju]

My tank is only 12 gallon. I currently have a purple firefish and a small (1") Australian black clownfish. I would really love to add another clownfish which will be my last fish in this small tank. With that being said, I have the following questions.

1. Will a small ocellaris get along with my black clownfish or should I stick with one specie. My first choice would be ocellaris because I want color variation with the limited number of fish that I can have in my tank,

2. Is there a good alternative to anemone for clown fish. I don't like the idea of the anemone moving around the tank.

Thanks,

id add another black clown, and any LPS for them to host .... like frogspawn or ...

I have had a black clown and an ocellaris in a FOWL tank for about 5-6 years now !!!! they still do not show any sign of being interested in one another !

when you say ausy black clown fish , do you mean Darwin Ocellaris or Black Polymnus (aka saddle back)

if the answer is darwin occy then yes adding a small orange occy is fine. in this case you can add any smaller occy or percula or cross or variant of them you want. like snowflak picasso ect,,

if the answer is black polymnus then the answer is no. you can only add a smaller polymnus and you tank is kind of sm,all for a pair of them to begin with,

I believe it's Darwin.

Allmost, do they show any signs of aggression? My main concern is if they will show aggressiveness towards each other with Ausy black and ocellaris(common orange one)

Thank you.
