I think you should be fine with another fire fish. Just Watch for your parameter and fish behaviour to tell if your system can have more or not

How big are your clowns? 3 of them will probably be trouble. Get rid of one of them and eventually you'll have a breeding pair. I had a firefish with my 2 clowns in a 20gal with no problems. The firefish was very shy and died due to stress after some tank maintenance.

Strange, when I read this I thought peoples concern would be the mixing of types of Clowns. I heard they are little buggers when you mix and match them.

i had 4 clowns to start in my 65gal, crap hit the fan quite quickly, they both paired off, the strong pair maintained control of the tank for quite some time,until 3 of them decided to pick on the lone clown, he was first to be given away, and have just recently found out passed on..

I kept 3 in the tank for another month until the one pair visciously chased and beat on the 3rd clown, to the point where he had little to no tail left, also gave him away and i imagine is doing well. Keep them in pairs as that is the best bet by far! Otherwise you will have a real headache.

They are all *******s, my pair is doing great! 3 in that small tank is 100% trouble waiting to happen
