So i bought myself a clownfish and I bought it as a black sabea. But it looks to be a saddleback as well. I want to get another but I don't want to get the wrong type. Can someone please help? What kind is she a black sebea or a black saddleback?

Can you post some pictures of the fish? Or maybe look around at some examples. There are pictures of fish in the Saltwaterfish.com store.

You can get another watever it is but it will prob not get along with the fish because most of them need to be introduced to the aquarium simotanously. As the oringinal clown will want to protect his territory!

This is inaccurate. If the OP gets the exact same type of clown and it is smaller than the original clown, chances are they will have success in keeping the 2 successfully. I did this with my 2 occellaris clowns, and it worked out fine. The larger clown established dominance and the smaller eventually submitted.

hmm wat about tomatos or cinnamon....
I believe gimmy im still a n00b
Still completely doable.
Some clowns are a little bit harder to pair up such as the Tomato's and Maroons as they are the more aggressive clown species, but if they are young or you get one that is smaller than the original, it usually works out just fine over time.

Does it look like either one of these?

How about this?

Or this maybe?

I am going to guess that your fish doesnt look like these. Posting a picture makes identification so much easier.
