I know, it a beautiful animal. At the same time, you want to provide it with the best condition as possible for it to thrive, but I don't feel comfortable adding to a 3-4 mos old tank.oh, sad me
but its a nice deal for the Chicago and if I want to buy it back, its gonna be hundreds for it
vet guy just said in other post 4-6 month old tank
It's your decision. @Zero_Cool and I are just giving your our honest advice and what would do. I'm on the cautious side
im not taking it yet, listening to u guys
What I mean is that I would be the last resort of all fails
If he no longer needs anything from the LFS but you do, he can give the nem to you and you bring it to the LFS for credit.ik Ive been told this
but, nem, and then I can't buy it back because they would price it very high
Timing is everything. In my opinion the deal is great but the timing is bad.but, nem, and then I can't buy it back because they would price it very high
imma call multiple lfs's In a bit when I have lunch
its extremely difficult to give you advice on this i wouldn't be afraid to put one in a month old tank as long as everything was going well, but i have a lot of experience and its hard to tell where you are at and where your tank is at. also i haven't had a Chicago sunburst, but if they are anything like the rainbows or black widows i have they are pretty sturdy, way more so than most of my coral. i left a rainbow bubble tip in a bag in my sump for over a week and it was fine, i had bagged it up for someone who was supposed to buy it and they changed their mind at the last minute and i forgot to unbag it. I would never by a wild collected nem but any nem that is tank bred and thriving and reproducing in captivity like a Chicago sunburst probably isn't very hard to keep.
are bta's easier than rock flower nems?
Just do weekly water changes if you don’t already and you should be ok
idk who to listen to anymore. AAAH
not sure? but probably in the same ball park. I have both, and i haven't had any trouble with either lately, and i keep them in a tank i don't maintain very well. Any tank that doesn't have acros, doesn't get my full attention. and i don't keep any nems in my acro tanks.
oh, I have acros and a lot of sps. ooop
i would never again keep a bubble tip in a tank with acros, unless i had decided i was done with the acros and hoping to kill them. I tried it in my current display, against the advise of the semi-LFS guy, and it was fine for about 6 months, then it moved and parked itself right next to one of my nice acro colonies, i took it out the next day and i still lost half the acro colony.
well, I dont have them in the tank rn so... couple more months
