A++ to Alvin

[::pete::]

Just wanted to share my new arrival !!!

[Jenn]

Oh my gosh, thats beautiful!!!! Sorry, but I just have to know what it is.

[txyaloo]

It looks like a rose bubble anemone from Alvin on ebay... Man, does he grow some nice ones!

[::pete::]

Sorry, Yes a Rose BTA from Alvin. Its a small and @ 4-5" and as you can see "Bright Red" w/ a green base.

[Yano]

Wow :o

[Tim Marvin]

Nice picture. I bought two off of him, and I love mine.

[::pete::]

Tim

What do you feed yours? I was thinking table shrimp?

[Tim Marvin]

They eat anything. I feed a couple silversides a week and in between I use uncooked shrimp, scallops, squid, flake, frozen brine, and a mix of the above with spinach and romaine blended in. I use the mixture to feed the fish and they end up with a bunch of it.

[Jenn]

Can you guys tell me how to find Alvin? I just have to get one!

[::pete::]

Well Josh I was hoping for a clone to send you one!! Jen if there is a clone I will keep you in mind. If you want one before here is a link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2363312365&category=32 12 good luck.

Jenn lets do a group order after the first of the Year.

[Jenn]

Sounds good Kaiser. I'll wait.

[Sherri]

Mine is still on the glass with my clowns hosting...great all around view. I feed silversides...tried krill and he wouldn't take it...

[GaryP]

Sherri,

Try some Mysids or brine just for a change. If you are using Bouquet or Cyclop-eeze it is probably feeding off that as well. Do your clowns bring food to your BTA?

Does anyone have a website or email address for Alvin where we could order directly instead of thru ebay. We might be able to get a better deal that way since he doesn't have to pay the ebay commission. I'd definitely be interested in getting in on a Rose order after the first of the year. I need an anemone for my 75.

I saw his site and I think its definitely worth a shot to ask him about doind a group order w/ us w/o having to pay the commission. Pete's sure is a beautiful deep red compared to his pics on ebay.
Tim and Sherri, are both of your as red as Pete's?

[Tim Marvin]

Mine are orange like on his site. They looked red until they fully expanded.

[casiano80]

Jenn you can count me in, I cant wait to get one I see everybodys doing good.

[oceancube]

i highly recommend alvin, great person to deal with, and also awsome packaging along with great shipping service!!!A+, my anemone already split and is doing great, i think he literally trains these guys to eat , cause mine eats like a horse!!!

[Sherri]

Gary - Mine is the same as Tim's - Bright orange/rose red when expanded...it actually has an agua colored base when small. LOL Mine eats like a horse also Rudy!! He loves those silversides. Anyone know who sells Cyclop-eeze??? Wanna get some. And no Gary, the clowns haven't started bringing any food to the BTA...but they do get wound up when I feed it - almost like they are trying to protect it from me.

Jenn..Gary...get one! :grin:

[Jenn]

Sherri, I am definitely going to get one of these in Jan. and both CB Pets and Texas Trop. are selling the Cyclop-eeze product. I bet that bta will go nuts!!!!

[Sherri]

Thanks Jenn...will go & get tomorrow and let everyone know how it reacts. Thanks!
