150g Anemone Prop System

I cut eight yesterday. Puts me at 30.

I started with 19 mini carpets and now I have 31 so I've only cut 12 of them so far. Next cutting you'll be ahead of me :-)

One of the new guys settled in

Some cuts from last weekend

Good job. They look nice and healthy.

Very cool "side project"

 

[ProjectAnemone]

Picked up six of these guys over the w/e. Had to turn a 60lb rock to rubble to get them free.

and 4 of these green w/purple tips.

Not going to add any new brood stock, time to crank up the numbers.

Nice! The problem with me having that many nems is I would want to keep them all :-)

As soon as I have good numbers, I plan on setting up a tank with one of each and some clowns. Right now I don’t want to give any up and lose the exponential growth. Need to hit triple digits first.

Looks like you're off to a good start!

How often do you spilt them? I currently have 3 bta'a that started from one, but it seems like it takes a while for them to get a little bigger after a spilt them. And also do you feed them?

Each strain is different. I have one RBTA that I cut last week, the cut before that was in December. I have an other strain (rainbow with a metallic mint green foot) that I picked up in Jan and I have cut it 3 times (have 8 now).

I target feed with PE Mysis shrimp when ever I remember - maybe 2 or 3 times a week.

My new ceramic knife makes cutting effortless. This thing is so sharp, I didn't even feel it going through the four nems I cut today.

Did you cycle the tank or did you just skip it and not have a cycle?

 

[ProjectAnemone]

I used water from an established system and moved the bio pellet reactor from another established system. The cycle was minimal.
