Feeding Anenome
 
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

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.
