[Bcook1016]

I used this video in front of the clownfish for about 5 minutes each time I would go over to the tank and in about 2 days they were hosting and haven't looked back, it totally works.

Thank you for posting video

Yep I did and other have to.

Took them a bit but watching the video did it.

 

[Bcook1016]

How long did it take them?!!?

 

[Bcook1016]

I literally have the video taped to the front of my awuarium and the clowns are near the nems and looking at them but idk what there doing

 

[Bcook1016]

It’s like there getting near it but won’t touch it reall and seems like they like the flow more

 

[Sleeping Giant]

might be good to give them a break from the video, they might think there's more clowns to compete with

 

[Bcook1016]

Day three now playing the video they still won’t go near it I’m starting to think it’s impossible for these clowns to host something

 

[Bcook1016]

I’m about to go buy an anemone and put it in this tiny box I have and wait till these clowns host it

 

[Bcook1016]

The clowns still won’t host this anemone after like 4 days idk what else to do y’all

 

[GoAskAlice]

What’s the best way for my black ice occelaris clowns to host my new anemones, should I just put them both in a bowl and let them figure it out or something different?!

Anemones host the clowns, not the other way around.

 

[Bcook1016]

Wel my anemones won’t host my clowns

 

[GoAskAlice]

Wel my anemones won’t host my clowns

It may take a while.

My captivebred ocellaris took about 3 years before it hosted my BTAs and it still doesnt stay and snuggle in the nem like wild caught clowns.

I just tried that video today and my clowns dashed to the opposite side of the tank. First clown I got 1.5 years ago and the other clown I just got at the same time as the BTA.

Do you have a pair?

I have had several host a couple different anemones.

Most started out using the back walls of the aquarium.

Mine just figured it out in a 180 gal.

Last ones I added as a pair and they paid it no attention for months. Then the female began transitioning and the weaker one accidentally ended up in the nem.

Took the female days to figure out where he was disappearing to. They would fight all around the nem. Male generally would end up under the skirt ( haddonni)

They have hosted since.

Could be a response at a certain age as well if they aren’t born in one

You are going to have to be WAY more patient. Things take time. Right now, just enjoy that your BTA is healthy and doing well. They will eventually dive in. Will probably take time though. As in up to weeks or months. Hang in there . It will happen. One day you will come home from work and be surprised!
