Default Where are the good fish stores?

i dont think anyone is saying that feeding an anenome isnt beneficial to its health, but i dont think just feeding an anenome in a fairly lit tank can sustitute providing it with intense lighting.

sure it has a mouth and stingers, so we can assume that it needs to be fed meaty items. fair enough...personally if i had an anenome i would feed it too.

now then, we can also assume this...anenomes have zoox. in them...so it would also be fair to assume that they need adequate intense lighting also, no?

with these assumptions (dare i say facts) i would only house an anenome in a tank with intense lighting and i would take the time to feed meaty items on a regular basis.

but i must stress that i would first only consider an anenome if i could provide the intense lighting that I believe they require.
sure feedings are great, but i do not feel that just feeding an anenome in an underlit tank will provide for a healthy anenome, i do not feel that that would be an environment which could sustain a healthy thriving anenome.

this is not directed to Sam, or anyone else for that matter...JMHO.


P.S. king eds is OK for looking at fish, they sometimes get interesting specimens in, plus you can bargain, but dont ever go in there uninformed, or buy something you arent familiar with, cuz those guys ARE salemen...they would sell you the hair off their ass if they could
