container to introduce new clown

[TracyZeuner]

Do you know where I can buy a container, made of plastic, that I can use to introduce a new clown to my tank? I have a large (4-5in) female maroon clown and I would like to try and pair her up with a male. Maybe some has a better idea, I was thinking something like the containers they use at the fish store when you buy fish from them. I would like something maybe a little bigger.

I bought one of those clear plastic critter keepers with the colored lids with the little door that opens. They sell them to keep frogs and stuff in. I bought mine from the pet aisle at Walmart. Hope that helps.

Let us know how it turns out. Get the smallest juvi you can find.

I have used a strawberry pint container in the past.

When I paired up my GSM's (my female was my first saltwater fish ever, and I had them from 2000 until Katrina) my female was about 3 inches, and my Male was a little larger than a dime. It was a very easy pairing, and the female took the male almost like a mom would take care of a child. You usually can't find clowns that small, but my former LFS owners brother was breeding GSM's at the time.

Make one out of eggcreate !

Great idea agsansoo! I have thought of using the disposible ziplock bowls. They are similiar to tupperware but cheaper. Poke a few holes in them and they would work too. Agsansoo's idea would get better water flow though and it would be easier to feed.

After two day the male didn't even want to leave the cage ! He gave me that look, "Dude close the door, the female going to kill me !" LOL
