I think one of the most overlooked truisms in this hobby is "just because you can, doesn't mean you should"

You could add more fish and that probably would spread the aggression but it's not really the best solution for all of them. I would relocate either the black one or depending on how attached to him you are, relocate the new pair. 4 clowns is too many in a 33, they will end up fighting sooner or later and once they start...

The pet store guy is probably more interested in simply selling you more fish
