Although this misconception is sometime's true depending on the species of clown and the anemone, someone anemone could eat the clownfish :) lol i've seen it happen before.
... dude, that's cruel. That poor bloody fish was trying to swim away.. you re-create an environment for creatures in a tank so they may live out naturally and you may observe. It's not to play god with poor ity bity goldfish not even native to the same waters.
He has a tomatoe clownfish and domino damselfish, both of which are immune to the anemone's stick and venom...except when their slime coat comes off from excessive stress and the anemone eats them...which is rare.
Anemones like this one can`t eat all types of fishes. some are have an immunity to the stings via, a think mucous. besides, anemones are way more interesting then fishes anyway.
I saw carpet anemones on the reefs around Guam, but I didn't guess they were so flexible. I thought they were anchored over their entire base. It almost moves like a "blob". Normal anemones have the stomach in base; this one must have multiple bases/stomachs, I guess?
at the place I work we had like a 12'' diameter carpet anemone. I had to get it out and bagged but there was this tomato clown that lept out of the water and flew into the anemone. He really loved his anemone
Is it safe to keep an anemone in a tank with many fish? Won't it eat them too? Sorry if the question is stupid but I'm still trying to learn everything I can about fish-keeping.
did you feed it goldfish? if so i didnt know you can feed a saltwater creature of any sort a freshwater fish. thats weird but pretty cool. and i like how the domino damsel came and hosted right when it was eating lol.
I have to agree with folks here.. feeding it a live fish is a bit mean. Yea they eat live fish in the wild, but in the wild the fish are dumb enough to swim into it. That fish didn't even get a chance. I believe in a fair fight! :3
is it really necessary to feed it a live fish?it just seems a little mean even though its a natural process. i always feed mine with leftovers from the grocery store.
not a live 1. that's just cruel. yes, I no they eat live stuff in the wild, and it's hard 2 find a humanely killed goldfish, but still, at least give the poor thing a painless death...
hey, if you're keeping them in captivity, give them the food pre-killed. it's easier for them, and less cruel for the food. that was just mean, feeding it a live fish. D=
im sure that reef needs more flow, the carpet would appreciate that as they rely on strong flow to carry there waste away, and stops detritus from settling, lowering nitrates, whats the reason for that low water movement?
why? my small heteractis malu with a less powerful sting than that carpet has no problem with feeder goldfish and king prawns and just spits out the skull or any unwanted parts the next day, if the amemone cant eat it because its just tooo big then it will release it, what do you think would happen in the wild if a huge fish touched the nem? do you think it would be stuck to the side of a 60lb parrot fish for ever?
incredibly tacky...my girlfriend was at petsmart with me, and sheasked if i wanted to get a car decoration they had, for my tank, i laughed my ass of, she didnt know we dont do things like that to our expensive and natural tanks..maybe some cheesy freshwater setup, but not for saltwater
well when i had a sea anenome i fed it frozen food what you do is you go out and buy a little syrynge then you melt the frozen food lets say brine shrimp and you eject the brine shrimp right near the anenome to make sure that he gets some
Yes, I used to feed it with frozen food. The anemone liked it in the beginning, but after 1-2 months it started to eat harder and harder and I stopped and gave it a live freshwater fish and it ate it for couple of seconds and since then I am feeding it with such fish. Maybe I'll try again with the frozen.
its not good because freshwater fish dont have as much omega-3 in them and anenomes need omega-3 plus im assuming you are feeding it goldfish or small koi the carp family has alot of unneeded fat in them and because the anenome is mostly stationary it cant burn off the excess fat that the carps will give it and it will eventually die.
If you pull away the fish it will live. But depends on the anemone. This carpet anemone does not paralyze the fish, but sticks it to its tentacles and pulls it into its mouth. Other anemones paralyze the fish and cannot move, but I am pretty sure they will live if they are released.
would they sting you if you were to touch the anemone?
