Clownfish and Anemone

Warhead569 · 09/21/2009, 06:11 PM

Does anyone know any tricks to get a clownfish into an anemone? I have a tomato clownfish and a sebae anemone, but the clownfish does not want to go into the anemone.

No tricks. Either the clown will host or he won't. Pushing, prodding, or otherwise trying to force him to the nem will only stress him out.

I taped a photo of another clown fish to the front of the tank. The first try I left it on the tank for about 10 mins. The second try (next day) they went right into the Anemone.

Probably should post this in the anemone forum.
