clowns and anemone
In the center of my tank is a very large bubble tip anemone. My plan was that it would host my two 6 month old, tank raised clown fish (Amphiprion ocellaris). The clowns seem to have other plans. To try to get them into the anemone I tried herding them in. No luck. I tried luring them in by suspending a clip with food above the anemone. Again, no luck.
Since these guys are tank raised and have never seen an anemone before, I have now taped photos of clown fish and anemones on outside the tank. I hope they are taking note. But I don't think this is working either.
The last resort would be to return these two to the store and purchase a wild caught pair. I think I'll just wait and see if anything changes as they grow up.
