[misty7850]

nice pictures so far.. got a full tank shot ?

 

[yellowlogi]

sorry about the picture being so fuzzy. I will put a better one on here tonight. This is the only picture i have of my full tank right now.

 

[sweetdawn]

how many anemones you got in there i thought i saw three. do they bother each other

 

[yellowlogi]

I do have 3 and no they don't bother eachother. The reason I have so many is because my clown keep trying to host my corals and will not let them come out and look all pretty. So I gave them other choices.
i have 2 long tenticle and 1 bubble tip anemones

When you have multiple cnidarians in the same tank it’s a good bet they are waging chemical warfare against each other. You may not see anything going on but they are attacking each other. If you are going to have different species in the same tank I HIGHLY recommend you have a very good skimmer, use activated charcoal and do water changes frequently. They may not kill each other over night--it will probably take months but in the end one will lose.

 

[yellowlogi]

What about the two long tenticles? do they fight eachother?

 

[jer4916]

looks good, keep up the good work!

 

[jmick]

It’s possible that separate animals from the same species will not tolerate each other.
You have a nice tank, make sure you have good filtration, a good skimmer and do regular water changes and you should be fine.

 

[yellowlogi]

Thanks.. I do water changes once a week.
