Tank Raised clowns and hosting

[greymach]

How many of you have aquacultured clowns that host? I got a RBTA 5 days ago and my tank raised clowns have not started hosting yet. I have heard that wild caught clowns tend to host better but how many of you have had luck with the tank raised clowns?

I have 3 BTA's in my tank and 4 percs neither has hosted any of my BTA's and I have had the clowns for 6 months now, So I think they will never host good luck trying to get yours to host.

Of the thousands of Clownfish that I have sold all of them were using Anemone as hosts. I've found that it's instinctual for small Clownfish but they lose the instinct after they mature. They can learn to use Anemone for hosts though.
Clownfish don't host Anemone, it's the other way around.

I have 1 true percula in my tank. He is almost 2". I wanted to get another one to make a mated pair. I also want to get a RBTA. What is the best approach for me to make in order for the Anenome to host the clowns. Should I buy a smaller percula as my second???? Also, should I buy the RBTA or the second perc. first???
