    Just a tip. For faster and more accurate answers, you should include info about your tank when asking questions.

    As far as I understand, you can add a juvenile clown of the same type and there is a good chance they will get along fine. As for babies, I think you need a special breeding setup to have much chance of them surviving. As for the anenome, there is no guarantee that the clowns will host it and if your tank is still maturing it will probably die. You need a mature tank(at minimum 6 months but probably longer) and also strong lighting.

    To successfully breed, you would need a separate breeding set up. Almost no chance of any surviving in you DT.
