Anemone Sucess Rate

[ilove2ride]

I have read lots of things about there being a 90% sucess rate with anemones after 6 mos. In your own experience, is this true?
Please vote more than once if you have more than one experience.

BTA going strong after 2 years and has split into 3 total, touch and go the first year.

I've had mine for 10 months and doing well so far. It split into 2 about 9 months ago and I would think that since the other one is a "clone" they would like the same conditons but one loves it right in front of the 1200 ph and the other one likes lower current.

Thanks for the replies!
Wrassecal, what kind of anemone do you have?

 

[wrassecal]

bubbletip. I also have this really cool tulip anenome that is so little, about the size of a dime, and last night I think it ate 3 times it's size in food. I've only had it a couple months though, sent to me by a friend.

Well, it seems like on this board, the conclusion is that there is a
1:1 sucess rate with anemones!
Much better than 1:9...

I've had my BTA for about 6 months, and it is still going strong!

Since they live 50 yrs or more in the wild, sucess IMO would be after one would have one for 10 or more years.

I havent had any problem and have had some for about 3 months

Success is a relative term.
I've had my Sebae for about 1 year now.
I've lost a bubbletip and a condylactis to poor lighting/feeding.
Doing a poll such as this will not really tell you much.
Most folks that have kept anemonies will reply.
Those that have had them die - may not reply.
Plus - we're only polling a small percentage of people that keep them in the first place.
Polls are not too accurate.

I've had my BTA for over a year and it is beautiful and growing!

I was thinking of getting a samll pink tipped anemone would 2 40 watt aqua glow blues be enough????

My peppermints ate my curlique in its first few days...tried to nurse it back, but it died last week I do not plan on trying again.

Unless your talking about a 10-15 gallon tank I would say no, just IMO
