Best way to get BTA to host percula

[drewdog82]

I have 2 GBTA's. I decided to put them in my fuge along with my 2 perculas because I figured it was a smaller area (15gal.) and I would have a better chance of the BTA's hosting. A week has gone by and so far no luck. My LFS told me to cut a 2 liter coke bottle in half, poke holes, and trap them all in. This way he said they will be almost forced to host. Does this sound like a good idea, or does anyone have any other tricks???

"cut a 2 liter coke bottle in half, poke holes, and trap them all in" this souds a bit too Xtreme IMOP. Try the picture trick. It has worked for me in the past.

put them both in a tank so small they have to touch each other for a few days. really just have patience.

it takes time
took almost 3 months for my perc to find my bta.
i lost the bta almost 2 years ago.
my perc just finally realized that he can use my hammer coral in place of a bta.
it takes time.
just let nature do its thing.

The coke bottle thing just does not sound right to me IMOP. I used the picture trick. I put a photo of clowns hosting a bta on the side of my tank had it there for almost two weeks nothing happend so I took it down. The next morning one of the clowns was in it and two days after that the second was with it.
