anemone shopping spree

[ReeferRookie]

My lfs had an accidental large buy of over 100 btas. Hes practically giving them away i love anems but how much should i get ? I feel if i have the choice ill probably buy 20 of them. Lol. How many should i introduce at once. Ect ??

 

[thedasher]

Well it depends on the size of your tank.

 

[ReeferRookie]

Onnly a 36 g

 

[thedasher]

Do you have any fish in the tank

 

[myownlife]

20 btas in a 36g is a mistake in my opinion.

 

[Mhumbach]

Agreed 20 in that small of a tank is a mistake. Even if they are small BTA can get fairly large quick. How long has your current tank been setup? Have you ever kept an anemone before?

 

[ReeferRookie]

Im not gonna add 20 it was a joke. Im asking what would be acceptable. So they have ample room go grow. And yes i have clowns and chromis

 

[ReeferRookie]

And yes ive kept one for bout month now. And tank is 7 to 8 months all params are fine.

 

[thedasher]

I would put at most 3 so that it would give the other fish room to swim without being stung. Also be aware that when they split you may have to remove some.

The rbta might accidentally sting your sebae, forcing it to move.

 

[ReeferRookie]

Thanks ill keep a steady eye out then hopefully they get along. My other.clown needs a home.

 

[thedasher]

Good luck

 

[ReeferRookie]

Ill update when i buy them or it. Maybe ill get distracted by the new zoas he got in.too

 

[fishroomlady]

man, I wish my LFS would make a buying error like that! Mine charges $60 for a RBTA.

 

[ReeferRookie]

Hes charging 20 !!!

 

[fishroomlady]

I would have to pick up at least two if I had your tank

 

[ReeferRookie]
