anemones and clown fish

what kind of anemones will host false percula clownfish???

 

BTA is your best bet

 

I had a bta.....

 

i have 3 XD

 

bubbles are what i hear is the best to have for cthose false, yet two weeks later my clowns still wont go near mine... the good thing is that the bubble tip looks bada$$ with or without clowns. hows is your flow and lighting

 

BTA, LTA, Carpet...........

 

its hard to say really. i heard it depends on whether or not they are tank raised; if they're tank raised i heard that they might not go near one at all. Just depends on the nature of the fish. My false percs haven't shown the slightest inclination of my long tentacle's existence. But, oh well, he still looks neat. You can try googling your question, I found some compatibility websites.

And BTW, make sure you have enough lighting for your size tank ( i think its 3-4 watts per gallon?)..otherwise they'll starve to death. Current is also important, but I hear that some anemones need more than others.

 

yeah i have a 55 with 260 watts, and goos water flow (3 maxi-jets 1200's) um i have an green carpet in there now, but my large black saddle backs play and sleep in that one, so yeah i jsut want something cool that the fish can burry (sp?) themselves in it

 

tank raised clowns dont need anemones, sometimes they will every choose to house in corals. one of my black false was rubbing in my little touch. but wild caught HAVE to have an anemone.

 

really? interesting. I've never heard of clowns NEEDING and anemone. I've heard that they just need a good place to hide. Does it vary by the species of clown also?
