fast question, please help me

[eddiesamuil]

I learned that my true perculas will not host bt anemone, so the one I have now in my tank is just taking space, and useless,
SO THIS IS MY QUESTION WHAT KIND OF ANEMONE THAT WON'T GROW BIGGER THAN 5" WIDE, AND HOSTS TRUE PERCULAS?

 

[riccio]

First off, A. percula MAY host bta's, no one can tell you whether they will or won't, period. Second, every clown hosting anemone gets larger then 5" if cared for properly, including bta's.

I was taking about the anemone not getting bigger tehn 5" across not the fish.

He is referring to the anemone not the fish.

None as Riccio had already mentioned . All hosting anemones will get bigger than 5 inches

 

[dawman]

BTAs are not a common host for percs , but has happened and is possible . It depends on the fish , some host instantly , some take months , and some don`t .

 

[eddiesamuil]

ok forget the size thing, which anemones are know for hosting true perculas frequently?

 

[triga22]

They may never host anythigng.

 

[eddiesamuil]

so....
I have a mated pair of true percs
and two bta's
the next thing I can do is to wait?

 

[triga22]

Pretty much.

If that is your attitude you should more than likely not own one. If you considr an anemone a waste of space you should not have bought it. Messed up.

what are you taking about, for me, yes it's a waste to have 2 of the same species in my tank, I like variety and colors.

In this case it is a good thing you didn't know and kept them...
Mixing different species of anemones in the same tank is a bad idea as they can chemically attack each other.
