Trouble feeding RBTA

[crad190]

I've been trying to feed my RBTA silversides for the past 4-5 days and it keeps spiting it back up!

 

what should i do?

Try feeding smaller pieces. And its a good idea to feed only like 1-2 times a week. If that.

well i've been cutting it up into 1/4 inch pieces and it gets it down.....then i spits it up.

is it doing that because it's not hungry?

If your lighting is sufficient you shouldn't need to feed it. I had mine for 2 years (just sold it) and never fed it or the 7 green BTAs I had. If the RBTA hasn't been in your tank long then it will be finicky with feedings anyways.

This is true. That one didn't eat for me when it was first in my tank. But it was ok after a few weeks.

ok so i should just wait till it gets more comfortable in my tank then it will eat?

don't feed new or stressed anemones.

some anemones liek said above, if the lighting is good enough will not eat, however my massive sebae will still eat, but only eat a bit of the silverside then spits it out.
