Just a question that doesn't have anything to do with the clown, but what kind of lighting do you have on that tank?

 

[chellie4u2]

stock lights that came with the tank... its a 24gal aquapod I believe they are 32watts sunpaq lights that are daytime and the blue in one light and I have two of them going...

 

[cooqie]

is that a pink tip hatian?

 

[chellie4u2]

yes it is..

 

[cooqie]

o ok i got 1 and then i rd it and they said that clowns dont reall host on pink tips but im glad they host on yours hopfully wen i get my two clowns they will host

 

[chellie4u2]

I got them both from this site and with in five minutes of being in my tank they have been like this since, he even sleeps in it at night.. I had a pair of false perc before and they would never host an anemone, So im very happy with these two... Good luck with urs!

 

[cooqie]

thank you hopefully i will get luck

condilactus (Haitian) anemones are not a natural host for clowns since there are now clowns in the caribbean. Not many clowns will use a condy as a host, but maroons seem to be the exception on occasion.

yeah rod is right, I have 2 false clowns and I bought them a pink anemone and they would not even go next to it. It was so pretty. I have a aquapod myself but a 12 gallon. Love it. Saving up money to get a sunpod so I can get a rose bubble tip anemone or some other nice anemone hopeing that my clowns will host it.

This is my baby. She houses 4 different anenomes (s/c) she feeds all of them stays in them and just straight up cares for them

Ur fish is Awesome!! I actually ordered a second maroon and my fist one wanted to be a jerk and kept attacking it so I had to move my first one to our bigger tank and get him a new anemone and my new fish doesn't really have a intrest in the anemone...

 

[quakstar]

yeah i was going to get a second clown but i descided instead not too bc this one has taken over from side to side of my tank with all his vacation homes

Never ever get two maroons unless they're mated. I would highly recommend geting the book Clownfishes By Joice D. Wilkeron. Do some research so you don't kill innocent animals.
