Ok guys......
I'm in a bit of a dilema - I am planning on getting a Stichodactyla haddoni (carpet) anemone and a pair of clarkii clowns. THe problem is this:
I have no problem q-tine for the clowns.... simple set up.... and some precautionary hypo..... but the anemone is a different case. I can't afford to go out and buy lighting especially for the animal, nor do I have facilites (heaters / pumps / tank) for seperate q-tine. This poses the question do I add him direct to the display?
If yes, then the next "dilema" is that Stichodactyla haddoni is renouned for being expecially "sticky & stingy" and has a reputation for being a notorious fish predator. So, if I add the animal direct to the tank, I risk my prized dispaly fish becoming lunch.........
So, do I add the clowns and anemone to my system with q-tine....... the fish are good, from a good dealer that q-tines all his stock, and his wholesaler q-tines them too...... furthermore, clarkii clowns don't have a reputation for being bad parsites hosts (ich etc.)...........
Thoughts?
