ok how do you add a rule which allows a virtual machine to connect to ssh on the main fedora host?

so connecting from a virtual machine to the main fedora host installation? I think i have to use an iptables command but not really sure

What about using the host ip?

It depends on:
a. What Virtual Machine you are using
b. How your network adapter in the virtual guest is configured, NAT, Bridged...
c. If you have IP tables installed on your Fedora host

Normally, a system would let all SSH traffic in without more configuration. If you have IPtables running, it is still unusual to block SSH access.
