    Very true...

    You can search the forums here and see how many members have had that issue and some of the tricks they've tried which, for the most part, rarely work.

    I bring it up because I am one that has (now) 2 RBTA (due to splitting) and 2 true percs that seem to not care about the RBTA at all... after 4 months.

    You never know. A BTA is not a natural host for percs or OCs. So, to them, it isn't much different than a frogspawn or something. On the other had if you stick a wild-caught Maroon clown in a tank with a BTA, she'll often be on it like glue in minutes. Ironically though, percs and OCs are some of the easiest clowns to keep, but their host nems are some of the toughest.

    Very true. Mine took 6 months to host.
