My main question is...could i introduce a clarkii clown to my false clown(1 1/2inch) that has occupied my tank for about one or one and a half years? Or should i not risk it and go with another false?

quick respones are appriceated

Clarkii are pretty mean in my experience. I imagine if the Clarkii is big enough, it'll kill the false perc (?). Otherwise, I think it will eventually grow large enough to cause many headaches and the eventual death of the ocellaris. I'm assuming that "false clown" is referring to this species...

Short term the ocellaris will probably bully the clarkii, long term the clarkii will dominate the ocellaris. I wouldnt mix them myself.

I vote no unless its a big tank (125g). Clarkii are pretty darn mean, I would pick up another Ocellaris and not risk the fighting.

YES!You can!If you have a Ocellaris they will get along just fine as NAked clowns,Some Picosso clowns,Misbar,and the Black Ocellaris!

All the clowns that you have naned are within the "Ocalleris Complex".SO they should get along just fine.I wont say there might be a fight every now an then but I dont think there will be problems like a Clarkii and an Ocellaris!
