My two clowns have finally figured out who's the female.
They used to host the thermometer at night time and they would swim around the tank in the daytime.
Now they are hosting the thermometer and the "water intake" (in my JBJ 24ga nano tank) in the daytime.
How do I discourage this behavior? There is a perfectly good bubble tip anemone in the tank and a duncan and a torch coral (2 to be exact) and some frogspawn.
I remember someone telling me to yank the clowns out of the tank.....then yank the bubble tip anemone out of the tank......then put everything in a 3gal pico tank and the clowns should host to the nem.
I'm concerned that since the pico tank is not cycled....and I would basically be taking 3gallons of water, and a few pieces of live rock from my established tank and hope there isn't a cycle.
It would also put stress on not only the clowns.....but the nem as well.
Am I being a selfish asshole by wanting my clowns to host to something other than the thermometer?
