Who loves Mini Carpet Nems??

[Salty D]

They go where they want. Even if you coax it out it's gonna take off and find a comfy spot. The best thing I found to make mine move is turning a powerhead towards them. Not so they are flapping in the breeze...but enough to shake it up a bit..lol. Even after making it move, it just went to the other side of the rock and now I can barely see it at all. I'll see if I can dig up pics of my new nems opened up

I have a couple of black saddleback clowns. Will they host in Maxi's?

 

[wicked demon]

nope, maxi carpets are not hosting nems.

 

[FishLipz]

Nope, these guys won't host clowns. Just eat them

 

[Salty D]

I lost a clown a couple months back.

Son of a ... I'll be getting mine out of the tank. I was thinking that my clowns would host in it. Any tricks on how to get these guys off rocks? I need a RBTA. Thanks Guys.

Alright, you guys have convinced me, I'm fragging all 6 of mine tomorrow! How long before I can sell them after fragging? We have a swap on Saturday.

Here was my 1st one:

It looks way more spectacular now.

After reading about all the fish you guys have lost, I'm moving my flame hawk out of that tank.

I bought a zoo/paly pack off you a few months back. Now I know were the hitchhiking mini came from lol.

Double post.

I've heard that touching an ice cube to the foot for a few seconds will many times get them to let go. I've never tried it myself but I've seen it posted multiple times

 

[Salty D]

I've heard the same about the ice cubes. It's gotta be stressful on the nem though.

Beautiful animals, but I am a little confused as to keeping them in a tank with fish. So many posts about losing fish, why take the chance? Seems like a matter of when not if. A little like Russian Roulette.

Are they that cool that they are worth the gamble?

 

[FishLipz]

I have multiple small fish including a madarin with my two maxi minis and have never had a problem. One of them is a good 6 inches across. Now keep in mind it's a 180 and there is pleanty of space. All of my fish seem to instinctively stay clear. I don't know if I would have done it in a small tank. I guess it is a gamble, but I enjoy the diversity they add.

You can see mine behind the Naso

I have 4 in a 10 gallon. The smallest one is about 4" across. My clowns were swimming through a mine field. I lost one a while back to a nem, and a buddy of mine is taking my other one till I do an upgrade.

I've got one in my 180 and I've never had a problem with losing fish. Here's a pic of mine:

 

[Tabasco1]

Wow. Stunning. I think it would still make nervous. . But they are so cool they'd be worth a species tank.

 

[macclellan]

Got these three coming... pretty excited...

How exactly does anemone stings work? Are there some that are more lethal than others? I'm wondering if I was to get a RBTA and put it close to the Maxi would either one kill the other?
