Caesar777 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Adin - For those red shrimp, Ebay = 10 for $12, so OR isn't so bad except that they refuse to ship any other way than $50-60 overnight (=2day via post office). Not to mention their notoriously awful customer service. Maybe the guy on Ebay can give you a lot deal? OR just get a culture of live mysis here: http://www.aquaculturestore.com/swinverts.html or, for that matter, some small ghost shrimp. Iceprobes can only do like 2 degrees in a 20 gallon tank, 3-4 in a ten, 0 in more than a 25. I'd go for a Titan (5 degrees in a 20-40, if I recall right; it's still thermoelectric, e.g. Peltier, like the iceprobe, though) or a full-blown chiller. Or just keep it in your basement or closet.

CGNano Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I've seen those at the LFS for $15.00. I've also seen them when snorkeling in Florida, must have been an introduced species. Link to comment

CZ3 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 The Hawian Red is different. Where can you get the Austrailian? What stock list did you see it on? Any one know where to get the Strawberry Anemones? Link to comment

adinsxq Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 moved to new (bigger) tank! Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Yay! Those are very nice photos. The anemone is pretty. How long have you had it, now? (It's too complicated for me to try to do math ) Link to comment
adinsxq Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 2 months. the lfs employee (manager) who sold it to me said ... "it will die. i took one home and it died in under a week" i'm a total noob but it's looking pretty OK to me. it's dulled out a little, but more than doubled in size and # of tentacles. i won't be satisfied with my abilities as an aquarist until it has babies. ty for all the support flashback to march - Link to comment
