False Perc stopped hosting a BTA. Any ideas?

[Brocnizer]

Any thoughts why a 1 year old false perc would stop hosting a BTA?

Obviously we are not fish, just looking for ideas.

He is healthy but prefers to just swim around the tank now instead of being in the BTA. He still has good eating habits, no evidence of disease....very healthy BTA and clown.

how long has he been disinterested?

[Brocnizer]

About 2 days

He seems like he went from being lazy and sleepy to Mr. Active.

I have been leaving my Mens health magazines near the tank, any connection?

I wish I could get my false percs to host anything besides a powerhead. They have no interest in my BTA, frogspawn or elegance.

Well, I hear it's pretty difficult to get clowns to host anemonies in an aquarium in the first place. Biggest reason is that, in the wild, clownfish host in anemonies mainly for protection from predators. There are no large predators present in a reef system where most aquarists would house anemonies or clownfish so they just really have not much of a reason to host as they do not feel threatened. I personally have not housed any anemonies yet, just clownfish, but that is what I've learned from research. It may decide to host again in the future. Just give it time.

When my clowns finally decided to host, they were always in the anemone. After a few weeks they seemed to lose interest. But then they were back in it and have been ever since.

My false percs would play but never really osted anything other then the powerhead.

In my old setup I had a tomato clown and that thing never left the BTA.

I'm not too worried about this guy, I was just wondering why his love affair ended with the BTA. Oh well.
