Second clown?

[Delphinus]

If they're still small, then theoretically two of the same size would get along because neither are in competition for dominance as yet. Eventually they'd pair off, deciding who gets to be female by whomever wins the most arguments ( I know it sounds like I'm making innuendo, but I'm not. ).

If you're not 100% sure if you have one that has started the transition from male to female, the best best is to get a smaller one as the newer. IMHO anyhow.

I had the same scenario a while back and I just took the larger perc out of the main tank and put her in a quarantine at the same time as I added her new friend who was about 1/2 the size to the quarantine.
I left them in quarantine together and then put them both back into the main tank after about a week.

They paired up after that and were insepreable, though I might have just gotten lucky...

I did this with Maroon clowns. I had one, larger, very established for years...and I added a smaller one.

The larger one spent the first two days trying to kill the smaller one. Had I not intervened, I'm sure she would have succeeded. I finally caged the smaller one to prevent direct attacks. After 3 days, I let the smaller one out and "he" moved into an anemone on the far side of the tank.

Every day after that, the smaller fish moved closer to the larger. It took about 1 week and they were sharing an anemone. They began to breed about 3 months later.

Awesome, thanks everybody. A new little guy, a meeting in the QT under the moon lights and we'll see what happens.
