I am up in DeKalb. I used to have a shop/store here but other things have taken too much of my time. Eddie has sold some of my banggai, and maybe some of my onyx. He also has some other stuff of mine that he sells . The rotifers could have possibly came from my cultures because I know that I set...

Originally Posted by chasar I feel like tonight is the night they will hatch. Cross your fingers. I have plenty of rotifers and feel confident in giving them a stable environment. They just need to come out of the egg. Cool. Good luck!. Are you culturing the rotifers or are you planning on...

Originally Posted by LexLuethar Carpets are also known to eat fish, including clowns. As Rod said they aren't normally known to host carpets - and if they do there is a chance the carpet will eat it. As for helping this process along, IMO it is something that is instinctual to them, but can be...

Of the 3 different "carpets", only S. gigantea is a natural host for percs. That doesnt mean that they wont acccept your hadoni as a host, but it is not a natural host.

Swim bladder problems, maybe? Google swim bladder to see if it helps describe the fish.

Thats a nice S. tapetum DeMartini, and good advice!

I doubt that you will have the patients to raise clowns. I have noticed that you have 3 threads on the same topic all within six hours. You also hijacked another thread trying to get people to view yours. Slow down.. Not everyone sits on these boards 24/7. Especially in the middle of the night...

Wow, looks pretty rough, and overfed. purple verrecue is usually a good way of IDing s.gigantea. Pink (orangish pink) is usually s,mertensi. Its too difficult to ID when its in that shape/size. If it is S.gigantea, IME, waterflow is just as important as good lighting. Maybe even more important...

Originally Posted by PerfectDark No I dont believe you have Sebae, which is also a Long Tentical Anemone same same. . I have heard of H. crispa referred to as a Sebae most often, and H. malu on occasion, but I dont think that I have ever heard of M.doreensis (LTA) referred to as a Sebae...

A M.doreensis ( LTA)is not a natural host for occelaris (false percs) but that doesnt mean that they wont accept it as a host. Same with a BTA. BTA's (E.quadricolor) are much more forgiving, and are usually a better choice for a beginner anemone. ( BTAs are a natural host for maroons, and...

Like the others have said, a hadoni would be the only "carpet" that I would recommend for your lighting. I wouldnt worry about feeding it at all for the first few weeks, then I would simply feed my fish heavily enough (with a good quality frozen food without gel binders) so some of the larger...

I agree with the dark one :) Condys should never be purchased as a host anemone. They are not a natural host to any anemone fish/clownfish. Not always, but often clowns will avoid them.. Sure, you will hear people say that there clown accepts a condy, but you will also hear of people saying...

Originally Posted by Alexknight very nice!!, I wanna get a RBTA now lol I love how they bubble like that all though I seem to always get the long wavy ones Most tend to lose their bubbles after time (when they feel comfortable in their surroundings?)

Well, Seeing that a E.quadricolor (BTA) is a natural host for tomato clowns, and they are probably the easiest anemone to keep, and easy to find. I would recommend a BTA. I think one of the greens with the orange tips would be awesome, but a nice rose would be cool too.
