irishtexan Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 The title says it all. What temperature do they need the water to be at? Also, what are their lighting requirements? I couldn't find alot of info on them. Thanks! texx Link to comment
Jamie Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 What kind of anemone? I used to have aggregating anemones from the oregon coast. They need to be fed every day, or at least every other day. I kept them at 60 degrees. thats pretty much it, they were very tough, pretty much impossible to kill. they are pretty low light too, but are photosynthetic. I kept mine under a 20 watt flouresceent light in a 10 gallon but I think they would have been happier with more. All the info above is just my experience. I think Adin should be able to help you out a lot more than I can. Link to comment
idog Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Though not an expert here, when I was in British Columbia this summer, the water temp was between 6 and 8 degrees. Found at more northern latitudes they would be adapted to less intense lighting than thier tropical counterparts. It's also always cloudy there and the water is not as clear. I would assume that this would mean that they have specific dietary requirements. The Vancouver aquarium has some gorgeous specimens in their coldwater exhibits. Link to comment
irishtexan Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Yes I am refering to the Oregon/Washington coast. So what should the temperature range be? texx Link to comment
CGNano Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 50-68? maybe. I don't know, i'm just throwing a range out there. Link to comment
irishtexan Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Ok. I was just wondering because I want to put one into my 2.5G. The temp ranges from about 74-75. I hope that is good. Still need some more info. texx Link to comment
I Take Pictures Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 The temp ranges from about 74-75 Wow ..... Ummmmm, 74-75 in Oregon/Washington? Ummmmmmmmmmm, no.... Lol I dont know where you got that from but that was a bad thermometer! Link to comment

FUGU!!! Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Though not an expert here, when I was in British Columbia this summer, the water temp was between 6 and 8 degrees.

WHOO! our temp in victoria is 50F.In and around oregon it all depends on currents.We have strong currents in juan de fuca and in gorgia strait.Where is youre anemoney from in Oregon?You could just go to a tidepool and test the temp.(low to mid tidel zones).Or look up the tides on the net! IRONEY:I have lived in a boat off and on for almost all my life.But I cant swim. Link to comment
kinetic Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 you're goign to put anemone's in a 2.5g? Link to comment
FUGU!!! Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Yeah,that dosnt seem like a good (or even possible) idea in a 2.5g. Link to comment
