digitalbliss Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 This is the anemone my wife brought home for us. She fell in love with it despite what I had told her about their history in in-home aquariums. We're doing our best to make sure this guy lives as long and well as possible. Link to comment
Tony Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 What history in home aquariums? I have a BTA and it is doing great and doesnt bother my other corals either. Link to comment
Clownfishcrazy1117 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Yeah, what do you mean? If you have a stable, mature tank anemones (excluding the Magnificent Anemone) can do great. Can I have your tank size, params, and age? Link to comment
irishtexan Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Isn't that a Condy Anem? If so, I think thats what he means. texx Link to comment
digitalbliss Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 I had actually posted in the Beginner's forum as I was planning on starting a cycle with a 20g this weekend, but with some luck my wife and I joined the cincinnati reefers club and someone who is an aquaintence of my wife's friend is getting rid of his collection of nanos as he's moving into a house soon and wants the extra space and money to start a larger centerpiece. We got a 1 year old system, but not so much live rock for the it. My wife was the one that brought home the anemone, although I wasn't aware that there are anemones that have good track records in-home. I'll have to look more into that. Anyway, I can get a new reading as per the params tomorrow if you'd like. And yes, it is a condy anemone. Link to comment
Cesar Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I had a Condy Anemone a couple of years ago and it did great in my 20g tank. If you would have gotten a Ritteri or a carpet I would have said something else. Although I do believe an anemone requires a mature tank and prestine water. But since you have the creature already I say nurture it and see if you can make the best out of this. Good luck. Link to comment
digitalbliss Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 So "mature" referring to how many years old here? I was under the impression that I was bringing a "mature" setup into my home with a 1 year old system. It wasn't torn down, we moved it in here as is. This guy is being housed in a 20g aquarium. I know in the description in the gallery under that pic we said we'd like to have more in the future, we're not meaning in the same aquarium. We want to do everything positive for this guy possible, he's probably one of our favorite living things ever kept. Believe me, I've been researching for about 1 year before I even thought about beginning a salt water system and I thought I lucked out finding an established system at a cheap price. Link to comment

By most peoples standards mature=6 months or more with proper mantinence and water params. Link to comment
