Condy Anemone experiences?

SoloChromis · 07/06/2015, 10:32 PM

I was sitting there trying to figure out what to put in my 4g rimless and finally decided on some different shrimp (pederson, sexy, bumblebee), but I know they naturally host anemones in the wild. Would a condy anemone do well in a 4g cube, and would the shrimp host it (or rather the anemone hosts the shrimp, I never know which is correct)? Any input would be appreciated, thanks guys

A condy is an Atlantic species with a mean sting. I had one eat a set of clowns. I would go with the shrimps and no anemone in a 4g.

A Maxi Mini (Stichodactyla tapetum) may be the right anemone for your tank.

Totally agree and the color combinations that you find can be stunning.

I have a pico tank setup and no issues. I do weekly water changes. My condy hosted a clown which surprised me when I saw them at the store, so I had to get them both. Here is a pic.

I have a pico with a condy hosting a clown. Got super lucky. Weekly water changes for me, but I love keeping that pico tank.
