Two Anemones

[wabassoweird]

What are the risks of keeping two different species of anemones in the same tank.I have a condy anemone and i was wandering if i could get a bubbletip also.

What size tank and what type lighting do you have? Also do you have corals in this tank?

 

[Innovator]

what size is your tank? usually it is not reccomended and condy's have an ugly sting towards other anemone's

I have a 38 gallon with a 98 watt power compact. Ive had the condy for about a month and he seems to be doing fine.

your tank is way to small to house more anemone's. I wouldn't even add another condy to be on the safe side. most aquariums are in the range of 100+ before adding a second anemone due to space constraints.

I kind of agree that you need a bigger tank. I`m also concerned about your lights. If you dont have enough they will slowly start to deterioate. After a month they might look OK but after several months might be a different story.

Would have to agree. I would only keep one anemone in a tank that size.

So my light isnt strong enough for the one i have now. If not how much light do i need

 

[Innovator]

how long have you had the condy? sometimes feeding, if you do, can override the need for excess lighting.

ive had the anemone for a little over a month. about once a week ill take a little piece of mysis shrimp and feed it
