 Topic: Ideal Clownfish Anemone
Posted: November 14 2007 at 10:40pm |
Hey folks,
I was just wondering what kind of anemone would be the best bet for getting a clownfish to host in it. I had a rose bta in the past and the clownfish didn't seem to like it. I currently don't have any anemone's or clownfish, but would like to get a percula after introducing the anemone.

A bta should be good for percs. Sometimes tank raised clowns wont host at all.

For a little encouragement, my clowns (tank raised) nenver hosted in my 2 anemones. Finally about a year later he won't leave my anemone. I guess for some it just takes some time.

My TR Oscellaris pair used to host in one of my LTAs... now, they basically ignore all 5 of my anenomes and are trying to host in my Red Open Brain...

Our clown fish hosts in our frogspawn. My daughters clown fishes host in a rbta and my clarki host in a long tenacle anemone.

Well, that's good, since I just bought a nice piece of frogspawn a couple of weeks ago and it seems to be doing well. Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on an anemone? It seems like the pet shops charge an arm and a leg for the BTA's.
