Man! First you are desperate to get them to host and now you want to know how you can get them out? LOL. Jeeze, make up your mind

My guess would be take the duncan out for a couple of days and see if they take to something else, and hopefully they wont take back to it once you put it back in.

My maroon clown tried hosting my duncans when I put them in her tank and they stayed closed up and crappy looking for a couple weeks, even after moving back into the other tank. They are fine now but didn't appreciate hosting at all.

lol i don't mind them staying but i don't want my duncan to die either. it's really closed up and doesn't look happy. what if i move the duncan closer to my RBTA? maybe they will see the RBTA and maybe host that? thanks!
