Dense Clowns

[Pufferpunk]

I just got 2 B&W saddlebacks & they keep hosting in my brain coral. Do you think they'll figure out there's an anemone in there for them? Don't they like hosting in RBTAs?

 

[paininthewrasse]

puffer.. my dork perc clowns host my green shrooms instead of my perfectly good RBTA.. They're not the sharpest little guys lol

 

[lizardking38]

My perc hosts my green turbinaria. Never liked the RBTA.

 

[jjjimmy]

Beware Jeni, those black saddlebacks tend to be excessively aggressive fish.

my false percs host in both mt RBTAon each end of my tank which I thought was kinda of weird as they are 5 feet apart.I did not think they liked to move around that much

 

[craftytony]

My false perc and onyx host everything BUT my anemone!

 

[whiirly]

Tony you have them in the same tank with out issue?
I am thinking of adding the onyx but dont want problems

 

[craftytony]

Yep, I had the true perc by himself and then added the onyx later...they are good buddies....

 

[whiirly]

so its one of each not pairs?

 

[craftytony]

yeah..just one of each...i don't think i'd try 2 pairs...

 

[jwblocal701]

I have a male and female pair
the male goe3s in my RBTA and female goes in a rock of about 30 huge mushrooms

 

[Victoly]

Well I have a pair of onyx that host a deresa clam.

 

[craftytony]

lol, now that I would like to see

My ocellaris hosts my frogspawn and some larger zoo's.

 

[Pufferpunk]

As far as their being aggressive--right now my pajama cardinal is hanging out w/them. He's extremely shy (almost never see him) & I would think he'd be the 1st fish in the tank to get picked on.

Had the same problem my onyx hosting my frogspawn what I did was cover the frogspawn with a plastic see thru bowl with holes drilled thru forcing the clowns to the RBTA it worked had it covered for about 3 days.

 

[Pufferpunk]

I didn't realize they needed to be "trained"! I might try that when I get back from vacation.

 

[craftytony]

I move stuff around so much, those poor lil guys have to host whatever they can find lol

 

[whiirly]

after mine found the anoneme even after moving them thay search it out and go home

My False clowns hosts the Green-Eye Zoo. Thought I share a pic.
