Clownfish Compatibility Question

I just set up a new 72 gallon bow front glass tank with a 20 gallon sump (92 total) so I could have one fish tank instead of 4 different tanks. I have a pair of ORA true percula clownfish. One is a semi Picasso clownfish and the other is just a normal looking true percula. They are about 2" each and I can't tell who is who yet (gender wise) because they are not aggressive with each other. They get along very well. They swim around together, eat together and sleep together. They have been in my 72 gallon tank for about 3 weeks now.

I recently found $700 in cash somewhere around my house and I had been seeing on a couple different websites like LiveAquaria that are selling tank bred Latezonatus (wideband) clownfish from Australia. How aggressive are these clownfish?

anyway, my question is that is there anyway possible that the true percula clownfish could get along with the Latezonatus clownfish? or no? I know people who have gotten different types of clownfish to coexist together in a tank.

Thank you!

ive talked to live aquaria and the other websites who are selling them and they are tank bred so they are used to normal temperatures. im just wondering aggression wise if they are a bad match or not.

Even if the Latz weren't expensive, and somewhat rare, I still wouldn't risk mixing 2 pairs of clowns in your tank. The odds are pretty good that you will still end up with just 1 pair.
