Default Sad :(

So while I was on vacation sometime in the last week one of my clownfish went "hardwood surfing" I have my tank covered with a mesh screen except for the last 5 inches in the back because of the over the edge return pipe.
I have since remedied this by making 2 little screens that go on either side of my overflow so there is only a very very small jumping spaces now.
But alas I have still lost one of my Occy clowns.
I want to get the remaining clown a mate, the 2 where paired so I feel so bad for the leftover guy all by himself and all. I was wondering if I could put a black and white or one of the other "fancy" occys in there and as long as it was a lot smaller they could hock up and be friends?

I am assuming they both have to be occys.... or could I put in a perc? Thanks for the help guys!

I have a misbar orange occy and a black and white one together and they love each other. I thnk my orange one prefers the black one since she ran the other orange one out of the tank! Lol
