You shouldn't feed freshwater fish and shrimp to saltwater animals. They don't contain the same proteins and nutrients that marine animals do. Link to comment
poidog Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 get some frozen silversides for the nem... they love those. Link to comment

chazde3 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 You got my hopes up again thanks Just remember that not all clowns will host an anemone, some wont host anything. I don't want to get your hopes up, just give them some time. Link to comment

jds Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 How much time should i wait to loose all hopes? the proper amount of PC light will work fine for a RBTA. I wouldnt say 36w. I have 144 watts 12kbulbs in my BC29 and mine seems to be doing fine. My nem is attached to the underside of a rock as well and he stretches really far to come out between the rocks, something like 5-6" and he still gets this big. So it took my picassos about 2-3 weeks to find the Nem and start hosting. I was giving up hope and one day I came home to find them playing. They are so well connected and its a bit scary. So scary as at night the nem closes up and retracts under the rock, with my picassos inside, only to open when the lights turn back on...kinda scary. Keep posting the pics and update us. -jds Link to comment
