    My advice is to avoid baby clown fish if possible, unless you are getting them from a breeder.

    When you do go back, get a chubby one, ask the LFS to feed it in front of you, try to choose one that is the most active, not huddled in the corner or swimming at the top. Good coloration and bright clear eyes.

    You current clown if under an inch is still gender neutral, so going with a clown fish just slightly larger might be to your advantage.

    Sorry for the loss and good luck.

    Ok if it's 1.5 inches than your safer going with one slightly smaller. Try not to get anything under 1 inch.
