Considering a pair of Amphiprion Melanopus

[carb850]

I'm nearing completion of my build and now putting more thought to my fish stocking list. I really like the colors of the Amphiprion Melanopus (Cinnamon) Clown and considered getting a pair for the 120G.

First off, if I buy a pair of tiny ones (1.5") do I have a good chance they will pair off? Should I start with 3+ to get a good pairing?

Some other tank mates I'm considering include Tomini Tang, Purple Tang, Flame Wrasse's, Fairy Wrasse's, Midas Blenny, Black Cap Basslet, Foxface, Rabbit Fish, etc. I won't be getting all of those, just some combination of them. Would a pair of Melanopus fit with those well?

You can get two small ones too pair off or put a large one and put it in with a smaller one which is the route I always take when pairing clowns. And the clowns will work with those tank mates.

Would getting a medium and a tiny likely net better results than 2 tiny?

Either option should work.

Medium and tiny will probably get you a faster pairing than adding two tiny individuals, but either way should work.
