using the tile will save you the hassle of removing your other fish

I have raised a few thousand onyx clowns, a few skunk clowns, fire clowns, and tomato clowns, and a lot of Banggai cardinals back in the day After the eggs are laid, hatching will take 7-10 days depending on the temp. I wouldnt even bother with this first batch. Take the time to note the...

Its not a natural host, but there is always a possibility. Do your O's have a host now? Once they have a host, its sometimes difficult to convince them that the hos that you have planned for them is a better choice than the xania/hammer/goni/Colt that they are currently hosting in

If its on a rock, its not likely an LTA (M.doreensis). If it is on the rock, a few tricks that might work; A powerhead pointed at it. An air bubbler at the foot of an anemone An ice cube in a bag toucheing the base of the foot. Dont hold the ice cube on the foot continiously because it can...

Originally Posted by aloysiusii You are all wrong it is a LTA for sure. It looks just mine when I first turn on the lights. Small and not looking like itself. It is a great anemone mine has grown so fast though out grew his 12 gallon nano it is in. I am moving it to a larger tank in a couple...

1.5 years is a good average. The males seem to be ready much earlier than the females IME, if conditions are right, the clowns will eventually spawn on their own, but a few things that may entice them to spawn sooner are; Saturation feedings (feeding 2 -3 times a day and feed until the pair no...

Can you get a pic of the underside of the oral disc? It looks to be in pretty bad shape.

If they are the same species, there is no problem. I keep multiple BTAs together. I have kept my giganteas together....

I have seen a maroon bit the tentacles off of a LTA until all of the tentacles were gone. The anemone eventually perished. Dawman: I thought that I would have seen you at the BNARC frag swap yesterday in Bloomington/Normal. Some yayhoo was giving a presentation on clown breeding

the percs may accept the anemone as a host, and its also possible that the anemone may eat the percs. Purchasing a condylactus anemone with intentions of it being a host anemone is not a wise choice IMO. Condylactus are not a hosting species

I agree, A refugium's original intentions were to provide refuge for the critters from predators (fish). I will admit to being guilty of telling people that its OK to house tiny, or injured fish in a refugium until they grow/heal, but like journyman said, its no longer a refugium then.

what make you think its a condylactus and not a bubble tip?

standard schedule 40 needs a 3" hole, and schedule needs 3-1/4" hole Yes, its a good idea to increase the return line to 2" Be sure that he teeth in the overflow will be able to handle to normal waterflow to the sump and th ewaterflow for the closed loop. That overflow box will have to have a...
