One day you'll come home and find your clowns hosting in it. Sometimes it takes a little time for them to figure it out.

I have a tomato and a cinnamon clown in gbta and a rbta. The fish found them almost instantly.

We also have 2 percula clowns that went almost instantly to a purple carpet anemone when we put it into our 150g tank. Exactly what I wanted!! Now they never leave it lol. I should have added that these 2 clowns wouldn't go near a rbta...although it is smaller, they wouldn't even check it out.

You could try printing off a picture of a couple clowns hosting in a BTA and tape it to the side of the aquarium. I've heard of that working in some cases.

I tried that without much luck... :sad:

I have heard of people trying mirrors (when they swim by it and see "another clown" near it they get territorial). I have also heard of people putting fake clowns near for the same reason.

if your picasso clowns arent hosting adding more clowns will only bring on territorial aggression. like someone stated they will host in time with any luck.have your pair of clowns established sex yet?? sometimes once a female is established hosting will just come natural.......some also just never host.
