  |  Photo-trick with Clown Fish and BTA ?!
Dear friends,
I was viewing pictures of clown fishes and stumbled upon this information: Quote:
Ocellaris Clownfish in a Magnifica Anemone.
This was the first day that the two clownfish actually went into the anemone although I have had both for over two months.
Research on the interweb said that it could be months, years or even never that the fish would pair up with the anemone and one forum even suggested sticking a photo of clownfish in an anemone to the side of the aquarium.
"yeah right!" I thought (with a genuine ROFL) but gave it a go last night.
I awoke this morning to find the clownfish happily bouncing around in the anemone.
So, showing clownfish photos of other clownfish in an anemone seems to work.
| My question is: does it really work ?! Has anybody tried this technique ?!

You know, I really wouldnt be surprised if that did work. My male clownfish did not touch the anemone untill I introduced the female. She seemed to enjoy it. They are very visual creatures. If anyone is having troubles with their clowns hosting anemones....or the lack of, I think this would help them out  _________ Tank Specs:

Bulbs:
1x 54W Blue Plus T5 HO Fluorescent, 1x54w Super Actinic Blue 03 T5 HO Flourescent

I have had a sebae and Occ clown in the tank together for about 3 weeks now it has never gotten close to it. So I am going to do a test. I will let you guys know the outcome!
Thanks for the tip. Lets hope it works. | |

| My True only wanted it after the tomato's moved in
HI,
My true percula was not at all interesed in the LTA so I added acouple baby tomato'es and they of course were hidding in and around the LTA's well MR bully True whos' alittle Bigger decided it was his LTA and drove the two out, they now have a rock they hide behind and the true now wants to beat up on everything in the tank, that even moves near the LTA, be it snail, crab,LM blenny he even nips at the scarlet hermits when they ar 6 ins from the prized LTA.
He had the thing for months and totally ignored it. let anyone show a little interest and its all his now. 
SPoiled BRAT.
Doug
