The male has not connected yet just the female

Lights are off now so anenome has closed up cant wait till I get home tomorrow to see what happens

There's also the mystical thing called coincidence that most likely is at work here.

I seriously doubt this because fish are born with instincts. They might just need a little push to remember

 

[LadyMac]

I tried to show mine a video and they both fled to the back under the rocks. Lol. They then came out after I stopped with a “Not cool, food lady. Not cool.” Look on their little fishy faces.

Like mine, my female hosted in 2 days by itself, but my male doesn't...weird

BTA isn’t a natural host.

 

[Steph1]

Has anybody else treid the experiment?

My maroon female went in anemone about 3 days after introduction. Took the male about 3 month.

 

[Reefing_addiction]

I chased mine around the tank with a net and with the end of a baster. She finally took to the nem. But the male did it first and then she kicked him out. But then my male died :( he apparently had some sort of internal bug. Going to have to get her a new mate.

 

[Steph1]

No BTA is not a natural host but the clown does not know that. I think it is responding to a visual

 

[Mono]

I think you should start showing them clown videos and they'll start doing tricks!

 

[New&no clue]

I’d love to try it. I have had my clowns and Nem combo for almost a year, never once have they gone near it.

 

[Steph1]

let me know how you go, please New

I have been trying to introduce my clowns to an anenome with no luck at all. I thought I would get youtube on my phone of a clown hosting an anenome make it full screen anf place my phone screen against the glass..................................OMG WHAT A REACTION!!!!!!!!!o_Oit immediately went pshyco and moved in a way I have never seen it before. It started hosting everything! My Torch, my hammer just about everything. I am guessing that it was panicked or something and its primal brain needed safety/protection of a coral. I stopped after about 12 seconds to have a think about if I can use this as a tool to acheive my goal. I need to have a think now;):)

Yep. That’s exactly what I Did. Put a printed color picture of a clownfish in an anemone on both sides of my tanks and my clown immediately jumped into the bubble tip anemome .

 

[SmugglersReef]

Has anybody else treid the experiment?

Yes I did and it works.

 

[zert11797]

Clown fish always live up to their name lol

 

[CMMorgan]

I hour training after 2 days by showing the fish the video

OK - how did you get the nem to stay in the jar? My nem (may he RIP) had a mind of it's own.

 

[Steph1]

Does your jar have a round bottom?
