Percula clown/ Anemone ?'s
« on: July 21, 2011, 16:06:18 »
Do True Percula(black Oynx) host BTA? I have read in some places they do, and others say these species wont form a sybiotic relationship, and suggest other forms of clownfish... I got a BTA from Micki and have always wanted to have a black oynx clown(and figured why not) but I don't have any exp with the relationships... Can I do a pair of Black Oynx? Will the Pair share the Anemone? Anything else I should know?

When would be a good time to introduce the Clownfish? The BTA is rather small atm but I have been feeding it reguraly and would assume it shoul dbe nice and fat shortly as it eats like a pig and already seems larger(though not sure if it's just getting comfortable with it's surrondings) Also this anemone glows almost like a florescent green and has some duller spots of green on the tentacles, is this normal?

Sounds like it looks normal to me.  I would think the black oynx should host with the anemone, but I have been known to be wrong a time or two...(ok several times)!  As far as when to add them any time is good!  Size doesn't matter.

I agree with Micki (all except her being wrong ... I'm not that crazy :) )

More than likely everything will go as planned ... however there is always a chance. I have a clown that turned up its nose at the anemone I got it at first and hosted in my frogspawn :)

The perculas should take right to the bubble tip if they are wild caught. If they are captive born it may take a while and on occasion they may never go in the anemone.

Thanks for the great info, I wouldn't mind if he took up in my frog spawn either though as right now it is kinda my "show piece"  in the tanks rofl as it's the largest thing I have... That small piece you gave me Micki has really exploded and looks good.
