My anemone split!

[Dmitry]

My green BTA split! On one hand it's nicer to have a smaller anemone...on the other I don't want two! :banghead: They're both still on the same rock and I rather hope they stay that way, but I doubt they will. Grr.....Argh!!!! :irked:

 

[joseney21]

good side....now you can sell one, put me first on the list....

 

[inkblue]

LOL :icon16: me too... i'LL take oNe... :smokin:

 

[Dmitry]

Come on over - she's all yours, but how do we get her out of the tank?! I think right now we could probably break the rock they're on - it's a flat slab. We gotta do it before she moves, though!

 

[inkblue]

joseney21 has dibs... :happysad: if he doEsnt want it, i'll heLp you take him ouT :dead1:

 

[Dmitry]

Here's a pic of them.

 

[inkblue]

yeaH baby... i want the small oNe

 

[Savager]

Inkblue,
I think 12G Nanocube is too small for Anemone. If you are looking for a place for your clown fish to host, get torch or frogspawn. I heard sometime Clownfish host them as well if you are lucky

 

[Dmitry]

I think they're pretty much the same in size. One is just all bubbly and the other is all stringy. I fed the anemone very infrequently with solid foods. Peter Mui - who gave it to me - warned me this was a splitter. I think it split 4 times in his tank. So it lives mostly off the light with an occasional treat of something solid. (Once it grabbed and ate a cyclopeeze flake!) Let's see what joseney21 says. I'm home all day tomorrow.

give it time to heal before you pull it out of your tank or it will have a very low chance of success in someone elses tank.

 

[inkblue]

:smokin: Well I have two 26 bows, one Nano and one 20 gal... I could put it in onE of my 'bigger' tanks... i goT a carpet that came with a mated cLown from StingNYC (AWESOME!), MaxPower is giving me a torch so I dunn0 waT else i want... oh yeah... a BIGGER taNk :icon16: :p

AnyBody got a bow taNk they dont nEeD... (addicted to boWs)

Dmitry,

What did I say about feeding it.

It's like gremlins, don't feed it aftermidnight and don't get it wet...

My BTA split 8 times in 1 1/2 years, congrats Dmitry you have twins..hehehe.

Peter

By the way I no longer have any BTA in my tank, the lastone found it's way into a powerhead

 

[Dmitry]

Well, Peter, assuming mine keeps splitting you can have one of mine! They're half yours anyway. :tongue1:

Okay, we'll just leave it in there to heal for a week or two. I just hope it doesn't start wandering around in that time!!!! Anyway to force them to stay in one place?

 

[Reefer420]

That is my worst nightmare- I am hoping and praying that my Condy never splits! I am worried enough about one moving around my tank as it is!

 

[pmui]

Dmitry,

The BTA will start to wander in a few days, keep and eye on it and remove it if you can when it walk on a small rock.

Reefer420,
If thats the only thing in your tank currently let it wander, it will settle when it finds a suitable location for itself.

P.

 

[joseney21]

Dmitry LMK when it's available if you want to sell.

 

[Dmitry]

Let's wait a week or so and see if either one has moved. And then we'll decide which one is yours!

 

[Dmitry]

Well, neither anemone has moved! They just sit there, side by side, all bubbly! Sometimes I wonder if they even split at all! Do you think they're all healed up nicely by now?? :scratchch

 

[Deanos]

Check to see if the mouths have formed. If so, feel free to trade them away.

 

[Dmitry]

I was trying to today, but the tentacles just won't move away far enough! I saw one mouth on one side and thought I saw another one on the other...but will have to wait for it to start swinging those tentacles to be sure. :grumpy:
