Hi , I was thinking of getting a couple of
Amphiprion Chrysopterus for in my 90g ...any advice on keeping them ...will they host bta s ..?
 
Nice clowns, not too common, wild ones can be difficult to acclimate, they like the temp no higher than 75-76 degrees. I saw CB pairs for sale on DD, Biota aquatics is breeding them, which is great! Be careful with them, they get pretty big & they’re in the Clarkii complex, can get aggressive
 
i think youll have no problem with them adopting a bubble tip anemone. your biggest battle will be getting some to live longer than 3 days in your care. theyre incredibly sensitive and prone to dying. if you stick with the fiji variants, youll have a nice yellow and black fish. if you get fish with the white tails collected anywhere else, youll have a brown fish with a white tail within two weeks. if they live.

allardi have a lot of the same characteristics and tend to be hardier, as do solomon island clarkii.

good luck and show us your fish when you get them!
 
I personally would rather get a nice pair of A. allardi:
