BTA care question...

[Milad]

am i suppose to be direct feeding my BTAs? i thought my clowns were suppose to do the work!

Some clown fish will feed their host. Some don't. I have seen both. If you want your BTA to get bigger, you may want to direct feed them. Some people don't feed their anemone because they don't want theirs to grow any bigger. I assume your light can sustain them without direct feeding.
BTW, I saw your real time PH stat and it was at 7.7. It's a bit low even after the light out. You might want to bring it up a little bit.

hmm why would my pH be low? I dont really do anything, i havent even added the calc reactor yet!
It averages around 7.8

i feed my RBTA's once a week, half a silverside, but i have seen my clowns feed them as well. If u want them to grow and be healthy i would feed them as well.

I Do not directly feed mine and he is huge (Size of a small dinner plate). Its get the odd pellet now and then indirectly.

I used to feed my BTA's but I haven't done it in years, in that time they have multiplied many times over, I am sure they would grow faster and larger if you feed them though.

silversides from grocery store ok to feed? or should i be feeding mysis?

[kevNnic]

i think silversides from the grocery store would be more than fine, as well as mysis. I always picked mien up from the LFS but its the same thing.
