gkimble Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I got a really nice purple tip BTA. It is beautifull, it is green and purple. I also have a pair of black and white clowns. They havn't hosted in it yet. Should I geive them more time? If not I might sell them and geta maroon clown. They seem to host realtively easily. The clowns are not full grown yet, so I don't know if that matters. I know this sounds kinda lame, But I am fascinated with clowns and anemones. I really want a clown and a anemone to pair up.

jacksonpt Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I'm not sure what species naturally host with BTAs, but not all clowns will host regardless of what you do. Link to comment
gkimble Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Almost everyon I know of that has a maroon semms to host BTA like mad. I don't know. Link to comment
idog Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 A. Ocellaris does not host E. Quardricolor in the wild. They will be just as likely to host your powerhead as your anemone, if they ever host anything at all. Tank raised specimens, as 99.9% of black and white's in the hobby are, will be even less likely. Maroons are naturally found with BTA's, so they are hard to resist in your tank if nothing else is available. Link to comment
clifford513 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 My maroon took to a gbta pretty quickly and after the gbtas demise took to a condy. Link to comment
gkimble Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 so you think if I traded my black and whites for a maron pair. I will be upgrading to a 40 Breeder in like 3 monthes. That would be a good deal???? Link to comment
clifford513 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Only for the sake of symbiosis. Those black and whites are much prettier than maroons. But, the relationship will make you happy and a 40g sounds great. Link to comment
I Take Pictures Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Does anyone have the list of which clowns pair up with what anenomes? Link to comment
rics4me Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Give it a little more time. IMO you will be happier with what you have now than with a maroon. Maroons grow large, eat like pigs and become very territorial. On the other hand you have a much greater chance of symbiotic pairing with a maroon & a BTA. Link to comment
gkimble Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 Ill give them a month or I am selling them asses Link to comment
mandarin dragonet Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 i would happily have them for free Link to comment
gkimble Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 hahah nah they are worth like $40 bucks a pop. But yeah I don't think I have to worry about it anyway. My anemone is all closed up and shrunk but some of the tenticles are haning out, and they still have their color. Is this normal. Or is it dying??????? Link to comment
clifford513 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Excreting waste. Normal for a healthy, fed anemone to do this every few days. Link to comment
