How long RTBA and Clowns???

[jlt232000]

Bought a Rose tip anemone 1 week ago for my only 2 clowns.
How long befor they start swiming in anemone. Clowns are small and 1 month in tank?

What species of clowns do you own?

Depending on the clowns it could be anything from weeks to months to not at all.

False Percs

My oscellaris didnt host my rbta ever. I swapped them out for some perculas and it took a couple minutes for them to host.

As false percs are becoming more and more tank raised, chances are you've gotten a pair that have never seen an anemone before.

I have a pair of false percs that I've had for almost a year. Finally a week ago, I noticed that the female has figured it out. She's been playing in my 3 rbtas ever since, but the male has yet to figure it out.

The clowns sleep together in the opposite corner of the tank from the nems, but during the day, the female is all up in the nems and the male hangs out under the overhand of my orange monti cap.

It's weird that they sleep next to each other yet away from the anemones.

It depends on the fish. I've read of people putting the clowns and the 'nems in a small container and forcing the clowns to get in them, but I haven't personally tried it.

Give it time...just depends on the fish.
