plastic anemone

[Sergio Henrique]

hello everbody,

I was thinking about to buy a plastic anemone for my clown fish, because he makes a lot of mess in the sand, and my tank is FO I don't have lighting to keep a real anemone.

do you think the clown fish will gonna like the fake anemone ? like a real one ?

I saw some plastic anemone is really looklike real.

thanks

I don't know if he will like it or not... Sometimes they don't like the real ones!!!! :)

There is nothing to say it won't take to it either. They host anything from anemones to powerheads to corals to balls of rubberbands. It's worth a try!

[Doctor_Reef]

Sometimes you just wonder how bright they really are!!! :lol:

[FishinInTheDark]

Neurotic, I think!

[Doctor_Reef]

But you got to admit they are fun to have!!!!! :)

I'm with the others. It might take to it, it might not. I had a clown that just loved his heater. ;) Weird fish.

my clown loves my skimmer :)

[Sergio Henrique]

ye, that's funny I wish my clown like the skimmer or something else, but he likes the sand and I made a decision, I gonna give him for somebody, I just can't keeping looking he's mess up with the sand, he does that all the time and there is sand everywhere in the rocks etc. I'm tired fix his mess, I like him, he's very health but I just can't with him anymore. :(

I hope that's the right decision to make.

[Doctor_Reef]

Someone will love him I am sure of that!!! You can make that decision if you want! We all have had a fish that we have traded or taken back to the LFS because we didn't bargain for what we got!!!! :)

sergio get the plastic anenome walmart sells them here for 4 bucks then print a picture of a clown in an anenome and tape it to the tank she will be in it in an hour or less

[Doctor_Reef]

How funny!!!! :lol:

[bigfoot]

its proven Doc! saw it on a clown anenome site

[Sugar Magnolia]

Sergio, I know what you mean about the sand everywhere. I had a clarkii clown that used to do the same thing. I got tired of clraning up the mess constantly too.

[Doctor_Reef]

its proven Doc! saw it on a clown anenome site

They are very impressionable aren't they!!!! And it is still funny!!! I guess that is another reason why they call them clowns!! I only wish that worked for other critters!!! Wish I could show a picture of a mantis getting eaten by any fish and that would train a mantis to be afraid of fish!!! Oh well, guess we will just have to train clowns by this means!!! :lol:

[bigfoot]

sergio try it b4 you get rid of him hes probably gonna have a better life in your tank than at lfs then to somebody new's setup

[reeferjunkie666]

I would. you never know, he could be a good fish at heart.

[specsgirl]

lol...I've heard that trick to get them to host also. I don't have clowns...so I can say that I've never tried it.

My clown likes my one of my bio-wheels. I get angry cause he hides behide it and I hardly ever see him.
