Hey all,
So I seem to be having bad luck w/ clowns and anemone-
I initially bought a pair of false perculas and a green bubbletip anemone. They were hosting the anemone at the LFS; however they didnt deliver the trio to me for about 3 days. when they came they arrived in separate bags and I am not sure whether it was that or something they did in those 3 days, the clown has not been hosting the anemone not even touching it.
This was about 3 months ago -- so then I bought another pair of false perculas and another anemone. figured at least someone is ought to host one of the anemones. but no i was wrong...
the four clowns decided to form a school chilling on the side of the tank and every now and then swimming around the tank.
Sadly, about 6 weeks ago, I lost 2 clowns. 4 weeks ago, I lost the green bubble tip anemone. And finally 2 weeks ago I lost another percula. So I'm left w/ one false percula and a pink bubble tip anemone. I am not sure which one was hosting it in the LFS but it was definitely being hosted.
I keep waiting for my only clown to get in the anemone. Everyday, I keep saying today is teh day the bugger will get in, but no.
Is there something wrong? Could anyone help me?
Oh just another point - everynow and then I him staring at the anemone from real close, like 1/8 of an inch, but its not touching. He would stare at it for like 15-30 seconds at an end - you can imagine me getting all excited and heartrate increasing - but only to come crashing down when i c him swim away in a nonchalant manner.
PLS ANY INPUT IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
thx in advance,
