who goes into the nem the most?

[95accord]

like topic says, which clown tends to spend more time in the anemone?
male?
female?

mine is the female
(black and white ORA clown in RBTA)

since my male spends more time tending the eggs, i'd say female. Otherwise it was equal.

Female....pair of black saddles in a haddoni

 

[ocellaris123]

Both spend equal time

My female was the first to discover the bta and once she claimed it, that was it! He wasnt aloud in for at least a month. She finally lets him in now but it took awhile.

But I would say "she" spends more time in it than "he" does.

These results are a bit surprising to me.
I've had two mating pair of percs in two different tanks(210/65) hosting two different anemone's(H. crispa/ BTA), yet both of the behavoiur patterns were similar but opposite to what most here have experienced.
The pair in the H. crispa(210) were babies when I purchased them together with the anemone, the female would frequently venture away from the nem(not very far though) but it was pretty much impossible to pry the little male away from it.
The other two in the BTA(65, currently moved to the 210) were aquired all at seperate times and paired on their own.
The female is almost always away from the BTA and at times during the day will venture over and host in the H.crispa, the male in this case is slightly bolder and at times will venture out but he mainly stays with the nem.

Pair of saddlebacks and a Haddoni, and the female owns the anemone. Male can't be within a foot of it before she freaks out on him.

My female seems to be in a bit more than than the male but other than her pushing him out when she needs her time they are in about the same amount of time!
