Can I mix an orange clownfish percula with an oscillaris, or with a black clownfish or with an onyx clownfish?

I currently have a fat clownfish (not sure if percula or oscillaris) and would like to get a different colored clown (that's smaller) and get the two to pair up.

i have an ocellaris and im getting him an onyx pal... i have heard from numerous reliable sources that it should go off without a hitch as long as they accept each other in general... (the act of pairing clowns can be tricky as it is...

I'm pretty sure my clown is a female now cuz she's pretty big. So i'll swing by the LFS and pick up a small little onyx clown if possible and hope they pair up. Thanks! im excited!

I dont think that clowns of different breed will pair up.
