Any Tips or Tricks for Clown Fish?

Are they currently hosted in something else?

you could try to put a fake clown near or in the nem. By fake i mean one like the kind that comes on some of the veggi clips sold, or hunt toy store, 2nd hand store for a plastic nemo toy ( would feel safer with clip one as it IS tank safe, not sure about others) I had a freind try this with great success.

I put the picture up last night, now it is the waiting game.

I thought about picking up a black clown yesterday when I was at J & L and putting it in the tank and hoping he would host, but I dont want to just have the one other clown.

Let's hope it works and I will keep everyone posted!

Arash- No they are just swimming around and at night they sleep at the bottom of the tank on the sand together. there is not really anything they can host in, as most of the stuff I have are pretty little frags at this point.

thanks for everyones help.

thanks,

Kris

Mine host in the branching hammer colony and Elegance I used to have.
but when I first for them they didn't host. Might've been going through the female dominant sex change thing. cause they started hosting and soon after they started regularly laying eggs.
Now no one goes near the GBTA without mom coming out for a nudge... which never bubbles and really looks like a condy. But it's not...

Not all clowns host in ALL anemonies, some like LTA's some BTA, some sand anemonies. Mine took up to 3 months.


A way we found that sped up the process is as follows;

Use a clay pot in your tank, they will go to it quicker than an anemone. They like the cave like properties. Then when they go to the pot, slowly move it towards the anemone, until the anemone covers the pots entrance.

One stung a few times, they are hooked.

regarding the bubbles on BTA.
In case of mine the bubbles on BTA are showing better when there is less flow. So much so that some times my BTA has half bubbles where there is no flow and the other half will have long tentacles like Condoluctis.
I guess i should try to make a picture to demonstrate...
