vilot one 2nd day !

sabodish · 08-10-2007, 05:45 AM

you do not have enough light to keep any of those anems. 2 of them appear to be bleached out bubble tip anemones, so they are already in bad shape to begin with. the one with the purple tips looks to be a long tentacle anemone, and i gurantee you dont have the light to keep that one. if you MUST keep them, i suggest you feed each of them a piece of silverside every other day and keep your water clean as possible.

on a side note, this is an extremely bad purchase on your part and you really needed to do your homework before you made it. the person or store who sold these to you either has no idea what they are doing, or cares nothing about the well being of these animals and was just trying to make a sale.

did they even ASK about your tank before the purchase?

This is a joke right? I can't believe such careless stocking of animals in the tank!

sabodish · 08-11-2007, 08:50 PM

i suggest you buy at least a 175W MH and put the nice purple one right under it. more importantly, based on the fact that you have nitrites in your water, your tank isnt even cylced yet...if these things make it past 2 weeks i will be amazed.

kinghokus420 · 08-11-2007, 10:43 PM

do yourself and the nems a favor, take them back and do some more research and be patient. they can be beautiful creatures for sure but you need to think of them first. they arent very pretty as melted blobs in your tank.
