Hi everyone i have a small problem. I have added a very small baby Black & White Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)to my 34gallon salona about two days ago. He is very active and swims up and down and all over the place, most active and happy clown I have ever seen. I wanted to know if i can add another small Black & White Ocellaris Clownfish in a day or two when the store i buy from gets another small one?? What are some thoughts and experiences on either fish being aggressive? When I bought the first one they did not have another black clown the same size.
 
in my opinion i might wait a bit and make sure the clown is healthy and then buy the second (in a week or two). my experience has also been that you should buy either a smaller or a larger clown otherwise there will be aggression.
 
I would go with a smaller one. You could go for another black or even add a standard orange. IMO its best to get another one in there as soon as possible.
 
I have never seem much occelaris agression, you should be able to add another just fine. Definitely go same or smaller if you can.
