Clown finally decided to host my nem after 3 months...

[is350jonny]

So... after 3 months.. i finally found my female false perc hosting my RTBA tonight... but it seems like she ditched her mated counterpart. Female is now happily nested in the nem.. while the male is still at the opposite side of the tank where they use to sleep at night... by himself. Is this normal and will the male eventually host the nem as well?

It will take time, but he will join her sooner or later. It took mine 2 weeks.

you should start to see her trying to lure him in, she may be protective of it at first. Every time I've had clowns take a to a nem the female goes first and entices the male to enter later.
