    Well my tank seems to be nearing the completion of its cycling phase and I plan on getting my first fish probalby next Thursday.

    I want to get small tank raised ocellaris clown fish... in the future I plan on having 2 clowns... this one and a b/w o clown...

    Do you think I will be ok with getting one now and adding the b/w one in later or should I get both now?

    I didn't want to add to much bioload right off the bat to my tank and thats why I was looking to get just 1 O clown right now...

    You should be fine, just make sure the 2nd clownfish is smaller or larger (ones better) I cant remember which one right now off the top of my head... Im sure someone whos more awake this morning will chime in.

    What size tank?

    If it is a small tank, I would definitely say add one first than the other. If it were a 100gal or something I don't think it would matter if you added two small clowns at the same time.
