what is the solution

[eddiesamuil]

hey guys,
I just got a second buble tip and my true perculas still don't want to host any of the two, it has been almost two months now. what should I do?

Time , and more time . Clowns can take months and months to host and some don`t at all . BTAs are not a natural host for Perculas and might not happen , but time will tell .

I have heard of people putting a picture of a clown hosting an anemone on the tank were the clown hangs out and the clown will learn from that. Just make sure the clown and bta in the picture are the same ones you have.

I think a plasma will be a better idea

sure if you have one. I was not kidding about the picture, I have no experince with it but from what I have heard it works.

swear on everything that you are not kidding please, because I am about to loose my head

A picture will sometimes work , try it and see . You also need patience for this to happen . Perculas are not familiar with BTAs and need time . Some take well over 6 months to host , but also some won`t .
