Just goes to show that any A$$ can open a pet store.

You could try to use PCV 2-3 inches high. Get PVC that is big enough so the Nem is comfy. Sometimes they stay in there...sometimes not lol. Nems will go wherever they darn well please. I have a purple nem that I've had for months and it still cruises the tank.

this is how they get you to buy more anemone. Lets assume that you success super-glue your anemone to the rock (which I highly doubt you can do it due to its slime), it will die then your LFS will tell you it is because of your water, so you need to buy water treatment, etc.. and then another anemone and try again. This is how they make money.

When i first started this hobby, i bought so many stuff from LFS that now looking back I should never bought. and this LFS is among the most reputable stores in town.

I am glad that you post your question here because lots of knowledgeable ppl on this forum that will give you a better advice than LFS.

Glue? damn I only know of one store that mighttell someone that, and it's in Sherwood Park.

Nems, rics and mushrooms can't be glued properly. for rics & mushrooms you can use a needle and thread.

Under no cirumstances should they ever glued.

You should know better, Brian

+1 ... maybe thats why when I tried to buy an RBTA in SP a while back they could not get it off the rock.... crazy glue ha ha!

"you have to buy the rock it's on too... at $11.99/POUND and the rock is 6 pounds."


Ha ha!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I really wish that employees were just trained to say, "I don't know, I will try find out for you." This should be one of the things they are trained on first. Otherwise you get crap like this happening more and more often. There is nothing wrong with not having all the answers and putting in the effort to find out the correct answer.

LOL! I'm trying to UN-superglue my LTA! It will NOT move. It's in the exact same spot I put it - which is where i wanted it to be, but it's grown sooo big, I need to remove it and it won't move, no matter what.

A little hint to keep a Nem (at least an LTA, or Carpet, anyways) where you want it. Corral it in with rocks and it is less likely to roam around. Doesn't work for BTA's, mind you.
