CSB V Chicago Sunburst Science

[FlameangelLover]

Okay can anyone explain (with science ) why keeping a CSB with a Chicago causes one to die? Even if they don’t touch?

Like I can’t imagine what the reason could be

Under what context is the claim?
Size of tank, proximity?

I’m just curious because I was always told don’t mix BTAs but I don’t get why. They are all BTAs regardless of color morph so why can’t they be in the same tank even if they don’t touch

You will be hard-pressed to find factual scientific information.
I know that there are anecdotal reports. I believe there may be some chemical mechanisms, defensiveness amoung different anemone varieties.
In a large enough tank any chemical defense is probably mitigated by chemical filtration and the volume of water.
