adding new clownfish

[Msmith2813]

So a couple months back my male clownfish disappeared and left my female all alone! luckily there were no children for him to swim out on. Im wanting to add two new davinci clowns to the tank. Would three survive in a 150? If not, how much smaller should the new clownfish be compared to the female already in there? I would prefer two new davincis but im not going to kick the old female to the curb, so I will only add one new one if possible. Thank you

3 tend to get along pretty well. In my experience 1 will become the female and the other 2 will be male. Since yours is already female I would suggest adding 2 clowns smaller than the one you have now so that she can establish dominance and the female you may have purchased would switch to male

yea, I agree with andy. 150 should be plenty of room. I had three for a couple weeks in a 75 and all was well.

Awesome! I didn't want to get rid of the female since she was here first. Do any of you know if the sustainable aquatics fancy white extreme is the same as the sea and reef davinci grade a? They look very similar but was wondering if anyone knows for sure. My lfs only deals with sa and not sea and reef.

I thought once a female they dont go back to males...
