Making Tank Raised Clowns host?

[Mojo Jojo]

These guys dont seem to like any coral, sebae, or RBTA. What are some things you pro's suggest? TIA

i dont believe they are not hosting because they are tank raised. how long have they been with the anemone?

The nems have been in there for 3 weeks. The clowns dont even come close to them. They like to hang out in the front glass of the tank

they just need more time, one day you will find them in the anemone.

What kind of clownfish?

Cool I'll just leave everything alone in there then. They are true percs.

They'll find it - just be patient. Mine took three weeks.

It took my CB clowns over a year to start using an anemone as a host and over 6 months for the CB clown in this thread.

i had a pari of wild caught true percs that i tried to get to host in three different nems and took to none and that was over a period of 8 months. I figured my clowns were broken so I bought new ones and traded the other ones in. The new ones took immediately to the nem.

Its actually depends on the clownfish. Even if they were hosting b4. They wont host anything they dont want to. Try getting something that host in the anemone and thatll make the clownfish check out wat theyre doing and they might get an idea wats the anemone for.
