Anemone pairing

[elecbzerk]

Hello to all! I have a pair of black clowns (Amphiprion ocellaris) I purchased locally and the previous owner did not have them paired with an anemone. I have read the sticky on anemone hosting in this forum, and LA. So, I know a carpet and a ritteri are the suggested anemone's they will host in. My questions is, does anyone have experience with this clown hosting in a BTA? I would really prefer a BTA if so due to Ritter's being somewhat difficult and carpets size and aggression. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ocellaris123...that's promising evidence! I very much appreciate the picture too. Is that a mated pair?

Yeah they are mated in a sense that they are bonded but no spawn as of yet. They are showing spawning behavior (cleaning a tile) and the males breeding tube has dropped.
