Flower, I got my two RBTAs at around 3 months into my tank. They were and are still 100% healthy. I think when people say they need 6-12 months they say this because it may take a tank 6-12 months to achieve the parameters the anemones require. I ha e heard multiple stories of success of adding nems after a couple of weekes into the tanks setup!
Okay, I know you just got back and I know you really are trying to help. I am not saying this to be mean in the least, just explaining something for you to consider when offering advice.
I have learned in this hobby, when it comes to advice....to NOT give the new person the once in a lifetime event that worked out one time for a fellow once....but to stay with the old very tested and certain it will work method.
True story: I had a fellow try to put a 55g tank on a stand where the tank hung over about 5 inches all around...we were all certain it would break and do damage....it didn't and the guy laughed and told us all we were the idiots. Would I recommmend for someone putting up their new tank to do that? No, but I'm sure the fellow would pipe in with "I did and it was fine"
I wouldn't add a guppy in a FW tank after only a couple of weeks....let alone advise someone that you can do that with something as ticky as an anemone. It isn't that the words you said are not true, but it just isn't good advice. Do you understand where I'm coming from?
