    Does he eventually need another clown to complement him?

    Nope! It's best to introduce 2 together if you want 2 than to add 1 later after he's already established his territory!

    you can add another clown i have done it 2 times in my tanks and a few in my fathers. always when introducing a new clown fish make sure it is smaller like half the size of the other. the other will assert her dominance over the other. chase it around and what not. then you will probably see some clown dancing.

    but I for sure would let your tank settle after all it has been through. tangs produce alot of waste and adding 2 at once can throw everything out of whack. so wait a few months for everything to straighten out and then you can try adding a second clown back.
