Assuming that you get a male and a female there shouldn't be any real issue -- they are color morphs of the same species.

It might work for a short time, but in the long run having more then one pair will usually end in death for one of the pairs. It is shocking just how aggressive/mean a mated pair of clowns (( any species )) can get.
