I have a ocellaris clownfish in my 10g right now. She’s been pretty lonely and I was wondering if it’s okay to add a 2nd ocellaris clownfish in the 10g tank? I’ve been looking and I’ve seen many people say that it is okay to do this. Is this fine?

Based on what I've read it could work fine but it's far from a sure thing. Clowns can be pretty nasty, but it does vary from fish to fish. I'm sure you'll get some people saying it would be fine, and others saying that you absolutely shouldn't add a second clown. You would be taking a chance for sure.I have a ocellaris clownfish in my 10g right now. She’s been pretty lonely and I was wondering if it’s okay to add a 2nd ocellaris clownfish in the 10g tank?

The clowns are captive bred ocellaris. I’ve had her for some time and she’s about an inch and a half big.Based on what I've read it could work fine but it's far from a sure thing.

I bet some will also say that the clowns will also get too big. Are the clowns designer? I have a theory that designer and captive bred lineages have a tendency to grow to larger adult sizes than wild fish.
