Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello, My name is Natascha and I am new to marine tanks. I have looked after my sons 250 litre freshwater tropical tank for some months now and as a child I kept axelotals.
I am looking forward to learning a lot here and one day when I know things I would hope to be able to help others.
I found this forum when I went loking for answers to if my new anenome is sick or not. There were some pictures in a thread someone posted here but they have expired I think.
I have heard that sick or dying anenomes can poison the water so I am a little worried, also I have only had the tank 6 days ( It has been running fr 2 years under another's care) and really don't want to kill it.
At the advice of the awuarium I go to I bought two anenomes yesterday and when I put them in they looked great. This moring one looks ok but the other is all droopy and has some brownish threads hanging out of it.
Is there someone on this forum that has experience with anenomes settling in?
I get the water tested yesterday, alll good 0 amonia, nitrite, notrate,phosporus and 8.0 PH. Temperature is steady at 28degrees celsius.
I'm not sure how soon I can get a picture up. It seems like the anenome's centre area (mouth?) is open when yesterday it was closed.
Anyhow, looking forward to meeting some others who are as fascinated with this area. Natascha
