Pink Skunk Companion?

I have a 29 gallon bio-cube that currently has one pink skunk clownfish in it. I would like to add an oscellaris clown to the tank but I am not for sure how they would interact. I love both of these fish but don't know how the two would interact with each other. Any suggestions?:confused:
 
I have a female pink skunk with a turning male percula in a small cube right now. She is starting to accept him, but it is an uphill battle for the little guy. I would recomend getting the second largest of a healthy batch of whatever type of clown you chose and see how it goes. Have a backup plan if they really don't get along and protect them from being able to jump out. Don't skip the QT though.

He has gotten at least one good bite taken out of him, but in the past week he has suddenly started getting his third stripe and the second is filling in on the bottom. Now the female is mellowing towards him and I think they will pair off soon. At least I hope so.

Thanks for the replies, which fish will be the primary aggressor? My pink skunk was the most aggressive of the 6 that the fish store had to offer. I dont want to add any other fish like the oscellaris to the tank if it is going to stress out the pink skunk. I have already battled ich with the skunk and dont want to go through that again.:eek2:
 
The fish that is the female will be the agressor which can be stressful in itself. If she is young and not yet a female there might not be much agression. Pink skunks are about the least territorial of all of the clowns.
