So I put my clowns in a trap with my amazingly beautiful rose bulb that Thomas hooked me up with. Will this force them 2 host it quicker? Or is it just pissing them off and cause stress?

As long as they are eating and dont looked stressed you should be good. Usually they host quicker that way...

I kinda forced mine. Set the nem where he "slept", put a vid on my phone of a large clown and it scared him right into it. I got sick of waiting after awhile. Hes hosted it ever since. Tank bred black ice.

Not sure if that will help. All my 3 pairs of clowns in the past all hosted eventually within a week... It's just nature...

Don't force. Period. I've heard all kinds of stories about people netting them and forcing them into the nem and putting dumb pics on the side of the tank that show a clown in a nem. All bs let nature take it's course. My clowns don't host my nem and it's been two months. Is anything in this hobby you force rewarding??? Almost always ends in disaster. Have patience and you will be rewarded.





Grasshopper. Hah!!

I say let nature take its course. I've noticed with ally clowns that as they start to mature a little they start looking for something to host. Some times it might take a few, but they'll figure it out. In the men time you can feed the nem well for little growth.

Tape on the glass a color picture of clowns hosting a nem. Show them how it's done in nature! Worked for me twice. Crazy, but I swear!

I usually get them in a headlock and tell them they better go into the nem or.face death...that usually works
