ritteri question

[bjledbetter]

If you have more than one ritteri in a tank can they come in contact with each other and not hurt each other

 

[garygb]

I would say that generally speaking it shouldn't be a problem. However, the safest bet is to have only clones in contact with one another.

What I'm wanting to do is move my two now to a larger tank and add a red and yellow to go along with them and it be a species dedicated tank. The two I have now are not close to each other but I was just worried that if I add two more and they grow full size they may eventually come in contact with each other

 

[garygb]

I have two of different lineages, one purple based and the other brownish based, that touch one another. They don't seem to react at all to the other.

Mine doing well touching each other also. No problem as lonm as one does not shade the other.

You are getting quite a few anemones of various species.

I am. I currently have 2 mags, 4 bta's, and two haddoni. The mags, bta's and one haddoni are together right now in one tank and seam to be doing fine together. The one mag and 4 bta's have been together for over a year now. The new mag has settled in nicely and so has the smaller haddoni. I am running carbon in two reactors to keep any warfare under control, but have yet to see any signs of stress from any of them after initial acilimation. They are currently in a 90 gallon dt. When they out grow this tank as a group I will move them all to a 300 gallon i have in storage for now. They make the 90 look good right now and all still have some growing room left, so I don't want to set up the 300 and it look empty. The large haddoni I have is in a tank to him self with a pair of clowns.

The one species I still want is S. Gigantea, but I've heard them and Mags don't go well even in really large aquariums, one usually dies. So I think i'll wait till I can dedicate a tank to one specifically.

 

[OrionN]

I got one system with one Magnifica, Three Gigantea and one Haddoni at this time for 6+ months together (each one of the anemones have been in captivity longer than that). They all seem to doing well and growing.

Are you serious? Do they have room to spread out at all? I couldn't imagine 5 the size of mine in a 55 they would be well overlapped.

I have the two smaller ones about 5 inches in the corner one is budding a new one that's been there for about 3 months it behind the colt coral then I have the green tip one that is above the shrimp it needs to color up a bit but it's about 10inchs and then I have the two purple next to each other that are about 10 inches each and then about 9 RBTAs and a dozen mini maxi. But yes one day I will need to get a bigger tank

Wow that's awesome. Nice tank! What is your maintenance schedule.

 

[pittscoral]

I do about 10 gallons a week I was trying for every two weeks but it seemed to not do as well!
