Sebaes do split I belive it's just not as common in our hobby, more times than not they are fragged:)

Thanks for the great info everyone.

I may have made an error in describing my clown. I have a little black and white oscellares is false perc the common name for these?

Actuallly just looked it up and guess I was right.

I don't really understand why people call it a False Perc. It is a different fish altogether.


It has very similar coloration/shape (hence the reason people call it False Perc) with certain physical/skeletal characteristics that differ.

Why can't we just call an Ocellaris Clown an Ocellaris? It is an Ocellaris Clown, and a Percula is a Percula.


Maybe someone else has a better answer ha ha....

It definitely has me confused lol

Even though its not ideal because its not its natural host I am considering steering towrds a BTA. From what I have been reading they have the best history for captive care. I dont really have another tank I can keep the brain in I wonder if it would help to put a cage temporarily over the brain and move it to another location while introducing the nem.

I think the trick of putting the photo on the outside of the tank for the fish to see is hilareous!

the picture does work though:):)

picture of a GBTA with a clown in it will cause my black clowns to host..joking right...

not guaranteed but it has worked for many...... like someone has stated your best to match clowns with their natural hosts, another idea is if you only have one clown introduce a larger female that already hosts alot of times "monkey see monkey do":) but be careful of bullying:):)

Already have 2 black clowns and a GBTA so I guess its hit or miss anyways.
