i really want my three common clowns to host my bubble tip nems. i have shown them videos of clowns in nems but they seem scared of them. also caught them in a net and put it on the nem, but it was too stressful. what else to do?
 
Following, as I too have 2 clowns totally not interested in getting a home.
 
I've tried videos, I've tried printing out pictures of clowns in a nem and taping it to the tank so they can see it for a month with zero success. I've also seen a video of someone placing a clear tube over the nem and putting the clowns down the tube making it the only place the clowns can be, but never tried it.

Only thing that ever worked for me was time, have to just be patient and eventually they'll jump in and never want to leave.
