What To Name My Clownfish?!

[ColbytheClown]

So I just picked up 2 clownfish and I need to name them. One has to be a girls name and the others a boy. They don't have to rhyme but.... maybe? Any suggestions? I'm thinking of maybe Ace and Grace. Image below. Thanks.

Some clowns host very quickly. ... some take months..... some never do.... I have a regular OCC clown and a black onyx picasso clown. The OCC clown has been in my tank for a year and has never gone near my Nem. The black onyx Picasso hosted it in a couple weeks. Just the way it is unfortunately.

Hopefully they can host... one of the only reasons I got a new in the first place

Chase them around the tank a few times a day and when they get close to nem leave them alone.. After a few days they will touch one another have a moment then be inseparable. It will take them a couple days to adjust their mucus with the nem so he doesn't eat them so don't expect it to jump right in (that could end badly). Normally when I do this they are hosting within 3-4 days plus simulates the wild and gives that instinct the nem is a safe place. My clown won't go more than 8" away and only to bring food right back. EVEN WITH ANOTHER FISH IN ITS MOUTH nemo was hosting lmao

did you add the Anemone first, or the clownfish first? Are they hosting it?

The Joker and Harley Quinn or Krusty and Sideshow Bob.
That's all I got.

I'd let your clowns find your nem. It took about a week for mine. It was cool watching them look at the nem but not go near it. Then, more and more looks. Then one day they were hosted by the anemone.
Very natural and easy.

Yes I have tried this and I have 3 nems. One of the clowns was in one for 1 second and hasn't gone near it since!!!

Try putting pictures of clowns hosting a nem against the glass or maybe a laptop screen saver of them hosting, also for names these are mine- sunny& Cher(nice calm nano clowns)And Mickey and Mallory(44g terrorizers)

I would still wait. But that's one if the things I love about my tank - watching nature in action.

They won't jump right in it takes a few days sometimes a weak to fully accustomize to the nem just keep at it spend 10 -15 min a day chasing them to the nem and within a week they will be hosting.
