I have a black saddleback that I added after having an ocellaris in the tank for 3 months.
They get along great.
Just make sure the new clown is smaller than the existing one.
From what I've read it's hit or miss.

Did you decide anything yet?
Just wondering how it turned out.

If you have the larger percula then it's a female and will not pair.
IDK which percula was bigger, they were pretty close in size.
The percula I still have though is definitely bigger than the black and white.

3 months is enough time for the clown to think it's the dominant clown in the tank and change. You can try it but only if you think you'll be able to catch the black clown easily.

I don't think it can be done, never heard of these fish pairing. Very slim chance of them even co-existing in the tank unless it's a large tank. They might get along for a while but clownfish become territorial against other clowns.

Just because you get an anemone doesn't mean it will host. My clowns have never hosted anything.

it just depends on the specific fish. generally, it's not a good idea but i have a clarkii and a pair of true percs in a 25 gallon FOWLR. they get along fine but that may be due to the fact that they have their own anemones.
