Feeding Anenome

[780Matt]

Hey everyone,

I have a green bubbletip anenome. I am trying to feed it. I was advised that most enjoy the silver back. I gave it one for about 45 min it seemed to be eating it. Now that its about 1.5 hours i fed it i guess he spit up the whole piece i fed him. Any suggestions? Does it not like the fish?

thanks,
matt

I just started feeding my 3 green bta's silversides. I've had to break the fish into smaller pieces for the 2 smaller anemone's but the big one takes a whole one. They have perked back up and the big one got its bubble tips back (not sure if its related) but they do look better and have better color. I feed them 1 ever 2-3 days.

My anemones will puke Silversides back up. I think they are too big unless the anemone is quite large. I feed my (several RBTAs) PE Mysis.

Same...I have four in my tank...mysis is the answer

Meant to say PE Mysis....has more protien than regular mysis

Mine wont eat silvers either but loves PE Mysis as well.They are new to my tank, got them on store tour in Edmonton last weekend.

well i notice it took the fish back into its mouth. now the tail end is only sticking out. i think in the future i will cut it into smaller pieces.

small pieces and do not feed frozen food as that will cause the nem to puke it up let it thaw out before feeding. I feed my nems a veriety for stuff like table shrimp, PE Mysis Large and a mix of marine sea fish and such.
