My first Nem

[twiggyb]

Well my first one as being more knowledgable compared to aboot 8 or 9 years ago. Does it look good to you so far? I Thought it might not attach as did not want to dettach from the rock it was on, but it has and imo looks good so far, but I'm no expert.

 

[Lenny718]

I'm no expert either but it does look very good. Best of luck with it.

 

[clowns101]

Look healthy to me.Let us know what happens with it!

 

[twiggyb]

Thanks I will! It looked like it was creeping into a crevice this morning before u I left for work. It looked funny cuz it's foot is attached way in the crevice and it's stretchin about 80% of it's tentacles out

Looks good to me. Have you fed it recently? I feed mine pieces of krill and shrimp soaked in Garlic and GvH and it has grown extremely fast!

 

[twiggyb]

Ust fed it a little of a squid cube when I was feeding my fish. I had my girlfriend buy me some silversides today so Ill probably feed it when I get home tonight. I used to live in Idaho, in pocatello, I don't even remember how to spell it anymore lol

 

[clowns101]

Little FYI,Most of us "nem keepers" dont feed silversides as they can cause anemone many problems.The bones and such dont digest very well.They really seem to like Mysis shrimp!Try that first!

 

[twiggyb]

Like a whole cube or what?

 

[clowns101]

SilverSides arent in cubes they are whole fish.The anemones cant digest them very well.With all the bones and stuff they arent worth the money!Feed Mysis.

Feed him about about a quarter of the cube thats what I fed.

 

[twiggyb]

I was talking about the mysis, I know they're whole fish.

 

[clowns101]

Oh sorry about that.As I said before feed about a quarter of the cube every other week or so.You get get by with out feeding once a month!

 

[twiggyb]

No harm done. I'll try that.

 

[twiggyb]

It keeps creeping into the crack it's foot is in. Hopefully it go stinging everything as it goes, or eats my mandarin. Any suggestions on how the water flow should be hitting it?

 

[MatthewLaw]

since the mysis cube is frozen, do you just defrost in a separate cup, then shut the powerheads off and delicately squirt near the mouth of the anemone?

 

[Lmecher]

:inlove: Wooooo...Love the color. i feed the large mysis almost the size of krill, with the tiny mysis, too many float away. I also feed krill or shrimp from the seafood counter. I just got a gbta a couple days ago but mine is not a pretty as yours, congratualtions!

 

[twiggyb]

Thank you! I just wish it would stop crawling into this crack it has its foot in. I like the color a lot! It didn't look that color from the tank I got it from. Different light spectrum I assume. His colonies were huge! This was just a little one compared to the others he had
