Picasso Clown... another clown question

I just lost my female in my picasso pair! I think she might have been egg bound and died from that . My water paremeters are good, neg ammonia, nitrate and nitrites.

The reason I say I think she was egg bound is because the way my male was acting with her....they had been very close together, and last night was the saddest, she was laying on the sand and he would come up to her, lie down next to her and then shimmey her a little. He would then come back to their "hang-out" and then repeat the whole process. They had been sticking to the side of the tank glass lately too in the weirdest spot!

But regardless, I was wondering if I could put another picasso in there tonight or would that cause problems? I was thinking if I added it in after the lights were out and everyone was in their "rocks" if that would work. They have some picasso's (or did) at my store that are a little bit larger then he is.

Any thoughts....I would like to have a pair of picassos. Have not totally ruled out setting up a breeder tank for them!

 

How long has the male that's left been in there.. the only problem i see with adding another is if the one that is still in the tank starts having territory issues. Maybe move a few rocks before adding and happy picasso keeping!

 

Ideally, you'd want to add a smaller picasso, not a larger one. Clowns in the wild form small groups with one female, her mate, and a few juvenile males. If she dies, then her mate develops into a female and one of the juvenile males becomes the mate. Adding a smaller fish kind of follows this progression, especially if you are trying to get another breeding pair.
Sorry for your loss, I love the looks of Picasso clowns!
