Clownfish pair + 1 other Fish, or Three Different Types of Fish?
 
ve had a pair of clowns in my tank for well over a month. well...the evilness of the larger one proved too much for the small one to take, and he took the leap of faith sad.gif

now comes the decision...do i get another clown and go for the pair again? or should i go for a different type of fish? like a rainford's goby?

right now the only fish in the tank (24 gallon aquapod) are a small bimac blenny (<1" (that's "less than", right?)), and a small clownfish.

the LFS has a few Rainford's in stock and i think they are kind of neat, plus they would add some different colours and textures to the tank.

on the other hand, would a pair of clowns be that much more entertaining and be worth having over a wider variety of species?

Go for the rainfords goby, if you get a clown they might end up fighting instead of pairing up.

Go for the Rainford's! I have one...he's awesome. He's the boldest fish in my tank. He's the only one that doesn't skitter away and hide when someone walks by the tank. lol

my clown was pretty mean to the other one that she literally chased right out of the tank (unfortunately it was "right out" the top of the tank!). i have a little bimac blenny who i love. the little guy has quite the pair on him. not afraid to come right up to my hand during feeding time, and ive only had him about a week or so.
