How big is the clown, and has it been alone for an extended period of time? If it has, it's probably female, and the best chance would be to find a clown that is smaller than it that can become the male of the two. As for being tank bred or wild caught, I don't think that really matters.

yeah the clown is female, but people on ano reef say they will fight when i add them

It's a possibility that they may fight a bit. The female will let the other know of her dominance. It may increase your odds of having minimal fighting, and of them pairing by adding a smaller clown. You just never know how they will react.
