Default Do you know about the free ananomies?
I got a few Ananomies from the local ocean and slowly raised the temp in the tank and now moved then over to the large tank and they are doing great. Very colorful

Unfortunately their metabolism is designed for cold water, and they won't last long term in a warm tank. I'm also not real sure you're allowed to harvest them from the wild. A really good thing might be to put them back where you got them and hope they recover. JMO.

Please dont put them back as who knows what kind of disease or whatnot it could have picked up from your tank. You don't want to introduce some parasite or what have you into local waters. Putting them back now is not an option.

What if they do survive? Do you have any pics?

Can't they be re-acclimated and maybe given a fresh water dip or something so that they can be put back? Just curious.

What if something does survive and flourish in the local waters..?
You could have a scenario similar to the rabbit in australia..
Safer to keep them, hope they will survive in your tank, and not take anymore from the local waters when the others do perish.

I wonder if thats what happened to the urchins of the Caribean. They all died about 20 years ago, it happened so fast that they never had the chance to figure out why. The reefs are all dying as a result.

I agree that putting them back into their natural enviroment could be a very bad idea. You could introduce a nasty into the area and cause alot of trouble.

However, if you were to set up a cold water tank (or even a cool water tank if you don't have chiller) for your cold water species, that might be the best option for you and your new pets.
