Who knows.... its your call. Your tank. I dont know many people with different types of clowns in their tanks. Your tank is only 33 gallon so adding has limits. My occelaris clown pair never even look at my other fish. I don't think that would solve the problem.

I had 2 pink skunk clowns living alone in my second smaller tank for a year.... and last week... the larger one killed the other. And skunks are usually docile.

Adding more fish? I would think removing the black one or the new clowns.

What kind of clowns did you add? Maybe its the species.
