civicsit Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Some BTA don't really inflate fully like others. You should be feading it more meaty foods though, like silver sides or krill. Try that, if it doesn't work, then I would say that you have one that just doesn't inflate fully. Link to comment
suppressive fire Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 it use to inflate kinda when i got it. but mysis isnt good enough ? i give it alot. Link to comment
Kombucha Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Show the rbta your avatar, I'm sure he'll start inflating imedately! Link to comment
civicsit Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 mysis and brine isn't good enough, see here: http://www.karensroseanemones.com/ it's more of supposed to be like a treat for your anemone, but not their main food. Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 What kind of lighting do you have? I've seen some RBTA's under certain lights and not blow up at all but then put them in really good lighting and they inflate. I agree that mysis isn't enough. Silver Sides and Krill are what I fed mine and my Clown shared everything else with it. Link to comment
suppressive fire Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Its a 10 gallon with a ten gallon sump and a 150 mh. Link to comment
crad190 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 i feed my RBTA Silversides and mysis and it's tips are almost a bubble......lol Link to comment
crad190 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 just try silversides and see what happens Link to comment
supernip Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 unfortunately, this is a natural state and it's always a chance with btas. Do you have any clowns? It is said that hosting promotes bubbling, it's not proven but in smaller anemones the chances of success are rather decent Link to comment
