new nem

so i know i am going to get alot of grief from this. i did last time. my buddy was tearing his tank down and i wanted it. i got one and he is looking awesome wish my clowns would love it as much.

 

Looks nice! My clown took 7 months to host mine.

 

yeah my last ones never did. the lfs told me to put them isolated in something to force them to but sounds like it could end badly and stressful.

 

Yeah thats a little barbaric. I had a tank rasied clown that never saw a nem in its life. at 11 -12 years old it decided what the heck. Give it time, I think RBTA's are pretty anyway.

 

yeah they are if all else fails i will get a nem crab

 

Nice!

 

Listen bro taking time for a nem to adjust to you're tank b4 he gets abused from the clown is a good thing.I have seen many clown kill newly introduced btas with luv not letting them properly aclimate.i wont even put in a marroon or tomatoe clown with btas anymore even though theyy are together in the wild they seem to beat btas to death in captivaty.I think the marroon or tomatoe clown should start as a fry in a very large bta for it to work and thrive or get a couple btas this seems the only way I have seen these combos work long for a long time.I no some people get it to work but its rare or as I stated above.you're clowns will find it soon.they also seem to hold the bubble look longer without a clown and that looks better to me.that is a hot rbta I wouldntvwant any clown in her maybe a fry clarki and I mean fry verytiny let them grow up together letting the tbta settle in first.gl

 

Pretty, congrats!
