tomato clown and bta

[alyssia]

Today at my lfs they had a tomato clown hosting a bta. I wanted to get it because I have not had luck getting my clowns to host anything (I have 3 tanks) The lfs guy said that their is no guarantee that once you get the clown and anemone home that the clown will still host it. Is this true?

The BUbble Tip is generally accepted by Tomato clowns. When I bought mine, I asked the LFS to put the clown in with the BTA they had and hold both of them for me if it hosted. I came back two days later and the tomato was nestled in there. Dave said he jumped on it as soon as they put him in the tank. Both now live happily in my 75 gal under power compacts.
See if your fish store will do this for you. Mine is great-but I make an effort to purchase lots of stuff from them and always spend time and $$ while there.
