The male has not connected yet just the female

Lights are off now so anenome has closed up cant wait till I get home tomorrow to see what happens

There's also the mystical thing called coincidence that most likely is at work here.

I seriously doubt this because fish are born with instincts. They might just need a little push to remember

 

[LadyMac]

I tried to show mine a video and they both fled to the back under the rocks. Lol. They then came out after I stopped with a “Not cool, food lady. Not cool.” Look on their little fishy faces.

Like mine, my female hosted in 2 days by itself, but my male doesn't...weird

BTA isn’t a natural host.

 

[Steph1]

Has anybody else treid the experiment?

My maroon female went in anemone about 3 days after introduction. Took the male about 3 month.

 

[Reefing_addiction]

I chased mine around the tank with a net and with the end of a baster. She finally took to the nem. But the male did it first and then she kicked him out. But then my male died he apparently had some sort of internal bug. Going to have to get her a new mate.

 

[Steph1]

No BTA is not a natural host but the clown does not know that. I think it is responding to a visual

 

[Mono]

I think you should start showing them clown videos and they'll start doing tricks!

 

[New&no clue]

I’d love to try it. I have had my clowns and Nem combo for almost a year, never once have they gone near it.

 

[Steph1]

let me know how you go, please New

I have been trying to introduce my clowns to an anenome with no luck at all. I thought I would get youtube on my phone of a clown hosting an anenome make it full screen anf place my phone screen against the glass..................................OMG WHAT A REACTION!!!!!!!!!it immediately went pshyco and moved in a way I have never seen it before. It started hosting everything! My Torch, my hammer just about everything. I am guessing that it was panicked or something and its primal brain needed safety/protection of a coral. I stopped after about 12 seconds to have a think about if I can use this as a tool to acheive my goal. I need to have a think now

Yep. That’s exactly what I Did. Put a printed color picture of a clownfish in an anemone on both sides of my tanks and my clown immediately jumped into the bubble tip anemome .

 

[SmugglersReef]

Has anybody else treid the experiment?

Yes I did and it works.

 

[zert11797]

Clown fish always live up to their name lol

 

[CMMorgan]

I hour training after 2 days by showing the fish the video

OK - how did you get the nem to stay in the jar? My nem (may he RIP) had a mind of it's own.

 

[Steph1]

Does your jar have a round bottom?
