More Than 2 Clown Fish?

[bollands]

i really would like a black or maroon clown in my 29 gallon tank but i have already got two percula clowns (the small type) which are adult and fully grown. Is this possible or will they fight?

Not a good idea. Possible in much larger tanks, but not a 29G.

oh ok but if i sold my current ones would two maroons fit in there?

Yep, two maroons would be fine in there.

Maroon clowns are the most agressive clowns you can get.
If you added one to your existing clowns there would be havoc.
If you got rid of your current clowns and wanted to add 2 maroons you would either have to buy a mated pair or buy a really large one and a really small one, adding them either at the same time, or the small one first. That way, the smaller one will usually turn into a male and the larger one become female and they would form their own mated pair.

imo 2 maroons wouldn't be good in a 29g in the long term.
