Lonely bta

[connie123]

I bought a huge green bta from CB pets about two weeks ago. He is a beautiful monster (about 12"). He is doing great, the problem is that my mated pair of perculas and my black and white percula don't want nothing to do with him? I thought at least one of them would accept him. Is this normal?

Sometimes it just takes time. Tank raised clowns have no idea what an anemone is. They may figure it out, but then again......
Even wild caught clowns are no gaurantee if it is not the right host, but are more likely to host.
My TR clown hosted with the overflow on my tank untill the idiot ended up in the sump.

tank raised and not, percs and ocellaris are hit and miss (some host in bta's, others not). I would give them time and they may jump in.

I had a tank raised cinamon clown host in a bta, but have also heard of tank raised clowns being eaten.

Best of luck

SO you had 2 ocellaris and 2 maroons in the same tank?
Instar, I am ready for my flawless pair of maroons. I have 2 ocellaris that are about 1 inch in the tank I want the maroons in. There is a RBTA, EQuad, and orange flower in that tank and the silly ocellaris like the magfloat.
