Age of clowns before hosting?

Mine took a couple months, but sometimes its less but I heard its somewhere in the 6-10 weeks usually.

 

Mine when i had them took about 10 months.

 

Did I miss something . You started a nano tank? Where is the build thread ?I would love to see it Adam.

 

I have had each for 2= months and they do not even come close to one another.
I wish they would.

 

I'm going through the same thing.  Bought a nem at SF and so far my 2 ocellaris clowns havn't been close to it.

 

My memory is so bad . Your right we did talk and i even commented on your thread. You need to post new pics lets see how it has progressed.

 

It took my percs well over a year to find my sebae. One day, they just moved in all of the sudden and they haven't strayed far from it since...

 

I've had a pair of maroon clowns for about a week now. One hasn't left the anemone much since it started going in there a few days after bringing them in there.

 

i got a clown from kirklins at fall frag fest last year and it is now swiming in my mushrooms need to try another anem again

 

Have a pair of percs and a rose bubble. Bought the percs when they were approx 1 1/2 - 2" and it took them 6 mos to a year to find the anemone. But like jb said too, now they won't leave it!

 

I dont think age has much to do with it so much as luck does. I have seen percs go right to a nem before where others would rather be hosted by a spec on the glass..

 

Exactly.
Here is a pic of a clown that cant be more then two months old found in the carpet nem shown to the left.

 

There are some tactical approaches for this problem. I will feed the anemone and not the fish for a couple of weeks, they start going to the anemone for food and begin to catch on pretty quick.

 

WOW thats a great idea Andy.  Way more realistic then the tape a picture to the side of the tank approach.

 

thats great man. you must of used your jedi mind tricks on it or something.
