condys can host some fish.... as per the clownfish book i have it states that ocelleras can be hosted with
BTA, Ritterri, giant carpet,Haddons carpet,mertens carpet. doesnt say anything about condys since they are atlantic and dont host naturally. stay away form tube anenomes and elephant ears they wuill eat you fish.

Most ocellaris clowns bought today are tank raised and won't host in any anemone. Don't know why, but true. So even if you get one that they host in the wild, they may not host in your tank.
Just food for thought.

The best luck I have had are with the bubble tip anemones. It took my clownfish 2 months to host with my BTA. So if you decide to get one just be patient.

I'm jealous!!!!

It is definately not the rule by far as there are those who have good luck with this. For myself....I have not.
