My RBTA doesnt host my true percular pair

[hamannbmw]

My true percular pair and my RBTA had been with me for a month, but the clowns doesnt seems to like the anemone. Heard from someone that true percular doesnt really likes anemone. IS it true ?

Doest anyone have the same problem.?

It takes awhile for clown fish to decide whether it wants to pair with the BTA or not. Also some clown fish are pretty choosy with the BTA that it pair.

My own experience.

My false percula clown fish told it 1+ months to decide bwteen 3 BTA. Finally it decided on my Rosie as it's new home. I guess you don't have to worry, just let it be.

You can't force clownfishes to take up residence in anemones.

In reef tanks, they may be hosted by torch corals, brain corals or even a piece of liverock and the clownfishes will totally ignore the anemones nearby. Strange but true.

It's not automatic by nature and the relationship may also be determined by species. Some anemones eat fishes including clownfishes, especially if their body slime are not adapted to adjust to the stinging cells of the anemone.

You will never see a tube anemone host a clownfish!

same problem last time but later it will start to host.

Give them time

Forget to add.

Now my clarks clown makes my Jewel it's new home. Crazy fella, swimming in and out of my Jewel so much so that my jewel can extend it's tentacles high enough.

i notice for common clowns, tomato n clarkii, they loves the anemone very much, almost swim immediately towards to the anemone (tats my previous tank) but it seems true percular is too choosy...... am i right

Hi , freddy, is yours a true percular pair or single

my common clown hosted in my common anemone almost imediately upon releasing it into the water....but when it died (due to sneaking into my powerhead...) I replace it with a RBTA and it refuse to host....

I have since given up on Anemone and my common clown had went to clown heaven....was given a sunk clown and suprisingly enough it began hosting in my Dersa clam!!! interestingly enough the clam does not seems to be too bothered by it....

For my percula pair it takes 3 days. Still depends on your luck.

All you need to do is patience.

Here is the small picture.

mine with me for about a month liao.... still nv swim towards my RBTA... hope to see them RUBBING the anemone...

My bubbletip anemone is hosting my maroon crown now, but it seems that on one side of the crown near the fin there's a whitish stuff like cobwebs stuck on its body, is it normal?

I read from somewhere is just the slimy stuffs from the crown fish to protect it from the sting of the anemone not sure how true it is.

Hopefully it's not the white slime disease that will covered up the whole body of the fish cos then would have to remove it cos they spread fast.

Anyone have any knowledge about it?

Thanks

hi,

mine pair true percular never even bother to look at my Rose. instead went to the blue tip carpet anemone (CA). so have to buy another maroon clown to feed the RBTA. look at my avatar. maroon seems to love RBTA. me tried twice already.

just let yr percular apir to find their own host. mine very happy with the CA. have laid eggs 3 times on the same pc of rock where the CA is. though 1st & 2nd time none hatch. last weekend was the 3rd time, now monitoring & hope some will hatch sucessfully.

cheers

Hahah..... dominoes often have an identity problem in their short disturbed childhood. Go diving also often see dominoes in anemones.
