I bought 2 zoos .. 1 large and 1 small .. the small one got open a little .. but the big one never open at all . i put it in since wednesday.why is this so ?

Okay Dude;

If you bought from Reborn, do a dip is good. But I believe it has notting to do with nudi.

The last zoo I bought from Reborn, I did not do a dip. It also did not open. My first experience with zoo not opening. Tot it is going to die. But dun worry, mine fully open only after 2 weeks. I tink zoo super stress from shipment...

Good luck.

i see.. i went to check more about it .. he say put at somewhere with more current .. well .. hope it helps .. anyway .. anyone know hot to keep anemone ? i scare i put inside then later it die then spoil the water.

Heard anemone needs strong lighting and lots of care. Will wander pretty much over the place till it finds a comfy spot. Not much experience keeping them but beware of them getting themselves into powerheads...it'll pretty mess up ur tank.... :)

Anyway, fyi. Zoos don't really need high flow. Give them moderate flow will bring more food to them. Any zoos that's stress out from shipment should open in 2 days or so. Some even faster, 2 hrs only.

It's a good practice to always FW zoos before placing into your main tank as you wouldn't want any "funny" things to go in and affect the rest.

anyone got anemone ? and how do u prevent them from wondering to the powerhead?

I got 2 anemones in my 2 footer.. dun have powerhead so never had any problem..

but think as long as u feed them well and keep them happy shldn't be a problem.. mine just stayed put at their locations and open up when lights on

Moreover i had a clown serving both of them in turn so they never move ard lor

In my opinion, I find the zoos from Reborn do tend to have nudis. I used to just transfer them directly into my tank but now, I have learnt my lesson. So I always do a fresh water dip on the zoos.

About the anemone, they are highly intricate and delicate creatures. They are not as easy to keep as many would think.

Do a search in the forum. I have posted a FAQ on them some time back. ;)
