Need help getting a nem to host a clown???

[tmac18]

Hey r2r, I just wanted to share my clown/bta project results. My ocellaris tank bred clown is about 2 1/2 inches. Been in my tank for only about 2 months. Never really tried to host anything. Swimming all over and making holes in the sand to sleep or even at the top of the water once in a while. I bought a 4 to 5 inch bta about 3 weeks ago. He's been hiding a lot. He found a cave to bury is foot in and stretches out when lights are on. My clown never paid any attention to him. I put pictures up of bta's hosting a clown and only thing I noticed is the clown sleeping close to the picture. So I rescaped and the rock the nem was on I put over by its self away from my other rocks, right where the clown was digging his hole. In front of the picture. Tonight is the second night after the move. I work nights and my wife video chatted me and the clown and nem found eachother!!!! I wish I could of seen the clown find it. But I'm so pleased!!! Can't wait to get off work and go see for myself! Lol. So, anyone trying to do this and get discouraged don't give up!!! Give it time. It's only been about a month since I put the nem in. Had to move things around. But it happened. Hope this helps anyone looking to do this. I may have just got lucky. But I got a lot of help from r2r. Just wanted to put my finding on here. Here is a pic I took from a screen shot when video chatting my wife. I'll get a few better pics up when I can. Sweeeeeeet! Thanks to all the help and suggestions.

Hahaha I'm so glad to know I'm not the only guy with clowns that do this! My RBTA is on a solo rock in the corner at the bottom of the overflow and they continue to hump the overflow even after about 4 weeks of the nem being there [emoji30] [emoji30] [emoji30] [emoji30]

Ha, try adding a picture of a similar clown in a rbta. Also, when lights go out use a flashlight, and place right above the rbta and shine it down on it. Just things I've read might help. But when it all comes down to eat, nature takes its own time. Lol goid luck! Post pics if they dive in!!
