Where can I buy a maroon clown who likes anemones?

[jimreemts]

I put an order in at the LFS for a very small maroon clown to pair with my current maroon. My current fish does not like anemones, I thought by pairing it with a fish who likes them it would learn to like them too. The problem is the one they received does not like anemones either. What should I do? :help:

There is really no way to tell whether or not it will head straight to the anemone. There are many people on here that have awesome tanks with huge anemones and excelent clowns that actually host to other things besides the anemone. What happened with my second clown when i introduced him to my tank was that he went straight for the anemone and wouldn't let the original in it. There's no telling what will happen. Good luck.

Their not stupid. It is no different than if your parents chose who you were going to marry. What is your purpose for pairing them. Do you plan to mate them? clowns are kinda unique in that they are all born one ---. Male if my memory serves correctly. as they age the larger dominant one converts to female. Your older one may convert but will take time. What type of anemone do you have. Maroons prefer bubble tip. However I have seen them take on others.
