GBTA and ocellaris

[Giovanni]

I am looking at a pair of ocellaris. They do not go anywhere without the other. I have a GBTA. Will they go to it? Thanks

bta is not a natural host for ocellaris clowns.

mine love their H. Magnifica

The guy at the LFS says this pair history known to him, will host in almost anything. Shrums and the like. What do you think, is he BSing me?

Maybe, maybe not!

They will host, but its just not a natural host in the wild.

Probably not, but there's no guarentee they'll go into what you want. Mine took a long time, and I've seen some posts say up to a year. It's just a chance you take.

I hear that some clowns accept a host more readily than others do. If this pair are more likely then maybe it is worth a try. Thanks for the photo and info you guys.

Good luck, I have had a pair of ocellaris clowns with my RBTA for 2 years now, and they are still not hosting in it, ...
