What does your clown fish host?

[musel101]

Mine host a Duncan.

Not the best pic but hosts in a toadstool and boy howdy is she protective of that thing.

Clownfish don’t host, maybe parasites.

Mines done that before she got mad when I took it out because it was getting too big for my tank. Bit me pretty good and drew blood.

Mine host a flowerpot / Hobo Nem

Pros:

Tolerates a wide range of flow and lighting
Not overly sensitive to water chemistry
No special dietary requirements
Non-agressive
Disease resistant
Stays away from powerheads

Cons:

Very slow growing
Not particularly colorful

Ditto, my clowns are hosted by my duncan.

Do pots help the clown fish breed more often?

nothing somehow.. dunno why

The tentacles seem pretty long on the duncan . Is that a special kind?

 

[musel101]

Do clown fish usually breed on their own or do you have to set the mood with some music or something?

 

[MnFish1]

a variety of things in my tank host clowns. My clowns do not host anything. :)

 

[stalkem]

Mine are hosted by the rear wall. Weirdos.

They breed on their own. A clay pot is nice because you can remove all the eggs into another tank just prior to hatching

Mine were hosted by my return nozzle in the left upper corner for the first 11/2 years before moving down to the duncan. The duncan was there the whole time, give it time.

I understand breeders use them, but a part of that is probably that it’s a much more economical and controllable way to provide something to host them than trying to breed clownfish while also maintaining a large number of anemones.

I noticed my clowns lay lifeless at night like they’re sleeping. What do yours do when they go to bed? I’m guessing push-up against the glass.

Not that I know of but it is a nonbranching duncan.

Cognac bottles.





Sometimes anemones. Whatever is closer. But they spawn in the bottles.

Same but I know they would love to sleep in the duncan if it didn’t retract.

What’s interesting is mine doesn’t really retract maybe I have the flow too high or the night light in my room keeps him open hmm
