    I have two false percula clowns in my tank. About a week ago, I added a true percula clown. Since his addition, the two false clowns have become aggressive towards the true percula. Despite their aggressiveness, the true percula is doing well and eats a lot of food (good signs). I would like to know if I add another true percula, would this help in reducing the aggressiveness of the two false clowns as the true clowns might hopefully bond. Seeking advice

    Clown fish can be very aggressive. I would suggest not to mix different types of clowns in your tank as they will almost defiantly fight. I would just stick with one or the other. John

    I agree with Fletch, one pair of Clowns per tank, any more and your just asking for fights.
