A.ocellaris July 20, 2018 Share July 20, 2018 Hi, I know.. I know.. This is a hit or miss, but anyone had luck with getting their clown fish to an anemone? i have 3 (Bubble Tips) in my tank and they just like the corner of the tank better.I've read about people sticking pictures, or videos, an even taking the anemone and fish into a small container to force them (which I will not do). Any other method that has worked for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flooddc July 20, 2018 Share July 20, 2018 I have yet has issue with nem hosting any of my clownfish. Just give them time. Tank raised juvenile clownfish tend to take longer to find its host. Beside, BTA are not natural host for ocellaris clownfish. My last snowflake clownfish (was 3/4" juvenile) took a while, I think over 3 months to be hosted by my nems.

wildcrazyjoker81 July 20, 2018 Share July 20, 2018 I was able to trick my clown by feeding by the anemone, but it is hit or miss. In time most clowns will host a BTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.ocellaris July 25, 2018 Author Share July 25, 2018 Update: They have been playing with one anemone lately with their tails and like shaking to each other near her. I think at some point I saw one of them going into her, but they still sleep in a corner of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueTricia July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 Anyone have better recommendations for clown/nem pairs rather than a RBTA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 Anyone have better recommendations for clown/nem pairs rather than a RBTA? Toadstools, GSP, Frogspawn, etc. clowns are weird, they'll choose whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
