Question about Ocellaris clowns hosting RBTA...

I have two Ocellaris clowns that are around 6 years old.

I had a RBTA in their tank some years ago and they loved it, they always hosted it.

Make a long story short, I lost the RBTA and they went for a few years without one.

I recently downgraded my tank from a 90 gallon to a 14 gallon (where the clowns have gotten a lot happier!)

I acquired a RBTA over the weekend and they haven't hosted it yet. I dunno why they won't, because they LOVED the last one they had.

I tried putting a picture of 2 Ocellaris clowns hosting an RBTA up on their glass, but it hasn't helped. Is there anything I can do to persuade them to host it? I am a bit surprised they haven't hosted it yet (when I introduced them years ago to the other RBTA, it only took one day for them to go in it (after I put a picture on the glass)) I got this new RBTA on Saturday and they still aren't in it! :-(

any ideas?

thanks,

Noob
 
TIME... I seriously think it's time. Mine took like 2 weeks to host my BTA. and seriously it's all about patience (: Maybe it's a transition from having no BTA for awhile and then suddenly seeing one is going to be a shocking thing to see, get what I mean? Be patient NoobieNemo. Just enjoy them being them (:
 
one more question that I thought of...

my anemone is sorta close to the very top of my tank... do you think this could be a reason they are not hosting it? should I lower it to mid level?

here is a pic

I'd just leave the nem where it is. It looks happy.. if you move it, it will most likely move itself back where it was.. or at worse. Somewhere you don't want (powerhead) :)

I have a RBTA with my two Occelaris. They know what an RBTA is and they have refused to host it for some 3-4 weeks now. Instead they camped up in the back corner of the tank, and laid eggs against the glass. Fairly odd, but I'm going to wait them out. I wish they would host... why I got the RBTA for begin with.
