Anemone ????

[halvc909]

Let me ask this silly question...what do you feed your gbta or rbta with? and how often? I never any luck with keeping them alive for too long and thrive :help:

 

[Rortreefer]

usually every week with some mysis, shrimp, or even a chunk of fish(salmon)

 

[EyeReef]

Frozen shrimp that you find in your moms freezer..I feed my rose bta that and I would say it cloned over 15 times in a 2 year span

Silversides every monday

Never had the opportunity to own one but have had the chance to feed my friends anemone with shrimp bits. Really enjoyed that experience.

He told me he fed his anemone once a week.

:fisheye:

 

[halvc909]

thanks guys...I tried to feed mine with squid but then it doesn't seem to grab it...maybe I should turn off the pump and let the mysis settle down on the mouth

 

[goth2o]

i feed mine krill and they pick up other stuff that i feed my fish. but i do feed them 2 times a week

 

[goth2o]

if your enenome doesnt like squid try somthing else

 

[Rortreefer]

Usually all u need to do is place the food right next to it's mouth and it will close up and take the food!

what kind of a set up do you have? lighting?

my past rbta's used to take shrimp readily. i would just take a shrimp, pinch off small bits and place it over the mouth. it would always close up as soon as the food touches it's mouth or tenticles...

I have the same question about your lighting....Also what else is in the tank?

I feed my RBTA 1 silverside a week. My pair of Clarkii gladly brings it to the anemone.

here is the pic..20" sunpod, 150w hqi...I have one false clown that is pairing up with my black/white clown but then they're hosting in the leather coral..I'm thinking of getting a small tomato or maroon for it, not sure if its a good idea

 

[orangefish]

I would absolutely not add another clown in there.

 

[halvc909]

lol..thanks for the advice Emily...too late for that...just added a saddleback clown but then it doesn't seem to go into the anemone..the good news is that the anemone is eating the silverside

 

[Rick]

I don't normally feed mine. Occasionally a silverside, shrimp, a chunk fish.

 

[lllDNYlll]

I have a RBTA and a GBTA that get target fed once a week with Mysis but most time pickup drifting food from fish.

The GBTA doesn't like too much food and hides a lot.

 

[halvc909]

My GBTA is kinda weird..it doesn't like the light or something cause when I try to move the rock to give it some lights, it would move to another location...right now, its attaching itself to the top right corner of the tank

same here. :laugh:

i feed mine once a month... they grow way to fast if i feed they once a week... when i first setup my tank i was feeding them twice or three times a week... but all i had in the tank were RBTA... they got laRge fast... one grew to the size of a dinner plate...

now i only have one and i feed it sparingly... i've had it for over a year now and it's still about 5" across... when i got it it was 3" wide... so that's great slow growth for a year old quadricolor...
