I am a ---- star. I do chicks about 4 times a week.

When the female has established her dominance and the male is following her around. Basially.

ITs not called a school of clowns but a family of clowns. I have seen tanks where there were 5 of one type of clown with one female, one male and three juvis. It can work.

Some clowns are desperate. :happyfish

The biggest clown is the female, the secodn largest is the male. The rest that are small and all about the same size or juvis. IF you got two males, they would figure out who should be the female by a series of dances and aggrssion acts.

I have. It was in my 150 gallon tank with 2x250 watt MH fixtures. Bulb combo was 6500 Kelvin and 10000 Kelvin. Kept my nitrates at 0, ammonia 0 etc. The secret about keeping any anemone is stability, strong light, strong indrirect flow( in your case) and great water quality. Buy the anemone in...

Skip the sebae. Stick with a BTA as your learning anemone. They aren't easy to care for but are the most forgiving out of the clownanemones.

clowns are so funny

Here is a pic now of the female hosting the bluecarpet. She has never left it sense.

Originally Posted by ViPeR_930 Are you trying to say all species of clowns, or all individual clowns don't have an acclimation process? How many times have you gotten clarkiis? Easy there tiger. Do you have any references to prove that clownfish need an acclimation process? The question should...

Originally Posted by eejay3 Reef! Well, I got my water tested at LFS tonight and they said the same thing since my levels were not too bad. However, my calcium was at 260 (I think it should be around 400?) They sold me "Kent's Nano Reef" to put in the water to up the calcium. Anyone ever...

Originally Posted by mudplayerx Anemones do wierd and horrible-looking shape changes all time. Sometimes they even open so wide that they seem to turn inside-out just to clean their gut out after a meal. Make sure that you don't manually remove your anemone from its perch, as that is really bad...

All clowns don't have an acclimation process. Like I said my clarkiis dove right into my Bluecarpet as soon as I put them in my tank. Put a big grouper in your tank and that will get your clownfish to host.

Originally Posted by ViPeR_930 I wouldn't try this. In such closed quarters the clown may get too close and get stung and killed by the anemone. It takes time for the clown to "acclimate" itself to the anemone. Not necissarily. When I bought my pair of clarkiis they both instantly took to my...

Originally Posted by PonieGirl Your nitrates aren't awful at 30..the PH would be more of an issue at this point. Also wonder about your ammonia level? Have never heard of anyone successfully keeping an anemone with nitrates of 30. Remember, anemones live decades in the wild and they never come...

Going from that picture it looks horrible. Your nitrates are high and you have a really small cleanup crew. Why is this in the "Reef Tanks" forum and not in the "Anemones and Clownfish" forum? You will get more members there more dedicated to anemones and clownfish Give it some time and see if...
