BTA´s Food

[aaron7405]

hi there
My BTA is bleach so I have read than with food it will came to his color again.

what would I use to feed the anemonie, how ofthen ? brands etc.

Thanx a lot.

Folks use different things - silversides, mysis, brine soaked in selcon, etc. Basically you want meaty foods that have been cut into small portions.

Mine loves silversides, cut to about 1/4 the size of a dime.

the anemone can take a piece the size of its mouth...some eat even bigger pieces!

But shouldn't. Larger pieces of food have a higher chance of rotting in the gut and causing the anemone harm.

I've never heard that before. I mean, i wouldn't feed them a side of beef or anything, but salmon, halibut, silversides and even big flakes of food all seem fine in my bta.

You have a good point.

I have been puting small pices of calamare and it seems to be starting to eat them, but some times it trought it up. even the small pices. Until today (since starting to feed it dayly) I havent seen popo yet

I go to my local Chinese grocery store and buy a big pack of frozen fresh squid. I chop them up into little pieces soak in Selcon and feed it to my Anemones and other fish when needed. $5.00 last about 6-7 months. Its alot cheaper then Silverside and my RBTA &GBTA have shown the best results from the squid. Good luck and enjoy
