Which photo to "fool" a clown?

[God of thunder]

Hi there.

I´ve heard that posting a picture of a clown hoasting an anemone will speed up the process of hoasting....

I´v got a pair of occelaris, one black, one orange. which photo do you think would do the best job??

The second link you gave us is the only link that actually works. I wouldn't even bother with the pictures. There is actually no scientific proof that can support the theory that clownfish will take to their anemone faster as a result of providing a picture of clownfish hosting in an anemone right by the tank. Just be patient and most likely given time your clowns will host.

I've seen several posts where clowns did nothing for months, then went into nem right after pic.
Takes like what, 5 minutes?
Give it a go and post results.

yes, that what i read also, do you think it is essential that the anemone and clown on the pictur matches the one you trying to pair?

Just my educated guess/ opinion no.
Something intimidating would be my choice.

I have a shark christmas ornament and all my fish are terrified of it if i put it up to the glass,

they must know the shape instinctively

Yea I've heard ALOT of success stories with posting pics near the anemone. But scientific proof has shown that even tank raised clowns when asleep, if in the right amount of radius, will naturally look for an anemone and stay there until it awakes. This is how I get my clowns in the anemone all the time. So far, 100% success rate.

I have also seen 0% success rates too with multiple pairs of clowns. I guess it is either a hit or miss type of situation. I guess you could give it to go but don't count on anything. Good luck.
