My first choice would be not to add an additional clown. My second, if I had to have another clown, would be to try an additional clarkii. That way you might end up with a pair. I'd also be willing to return the fish if it didn't work out..
And if you do add another clarkii, buy one much smaller than the one you have. If the one you have has been without another clown, the change from juvi, to male, and then female may have already begun. Once the change to female has begun, it will never reverse. It will be female for the remainder of its life. Two females WILL fight. If you purchase a small one, it will more than likely be either a juvi, or a male.. This should lessen the chance of agression.
