Is there a nice clownfish?

I am looking for a peaceful breed of clownfish to add to my tank. I currently have a few blue and green chromis, a pygmy angel, and a yellow tang. Does the fish exist that I am looking for?

IMHO Ocellaris (False Percula) are about as docile as Clowns get...

But, biggest thing would be to keep the clown as a single specimen, not a pair... It's when they pair up and start spawning that clowns get MEAN...
 
Andy's clowns are very nice! Only a little bit of bullying by the female to keep the male in line (see, it crosses species!)... :lol:
 
I would have to agree with Serk about the False Percula, as well as only have one. I've also found the Pink Skunk Clown to be quite peaceful.

Also, I wouldn't add an anenome to the tank, seeing as how in nature, they'll try and protect them by any and all means.
 
I kept 2 false perculas in my tank and they got along well with everything. They hosted in my zoanthids and were great with the other fish.

Pink Skunks are definitely the most peaceful clown we've kept- to the point that they're actually very timid, especially with boisterous tank mates.
 
skunks or percs (both true and false) are your best bet. They won't be a problem even when spawning. The most they do is chase something away when it gets close.

Clarkii's, Tomatos and Maroons all can be huge PITAs once they mate up. I have the blood to prove it. Having said that my Clarkii's never harassed anything in the tank! Just my hand!
 
I have an orange skunk and a pink skunk (both bought from online, both supposed to have been pinks) and 2 of Andy's clowns in my 90g. The female from Andy's will come and nip at me if it is hungry. Otherwise, it hangs out in the back. For some reason, they all like to hang out in the back right corner of my tank several times a day. They will all split up to go to there separate hosting places throughout the day.

I need to get rid of the orange skunk, he gets beat up by the wrasse. I want to find a small pink skunk.

Petland had a 'sweetlips clown' in stock theother day. I don't know anything about their character, but man-that was a neat looking fish.. it killed me I had no place to put him.. that happens to me a lot :)

Yeah, the sweetlips is really a handsome fish. There is one at DNA with my name on it. But I understand they are hard to keep.
