wanted aptasia

[monocus]

trade for burghia in vancouver area-just moved and lost most of my aptasia.prefered taken from sides of tank not on live rock

May I ask where you got the nudi? I need some pest control but I can't go with anything that might destroy my zoas, did the nudi work well for you?

the same nudis worked wonders for me, they are a little slow at first and you will never see them. completely nocturnal and only eat aiptasia. depending on size of tank get 2-3+ to allow them to breed and sustain a population. they begin near the bottom of the tank and work their way up. takes a couple months before I realized my aiptasia were basically gone but they did it. Also when adding to tank turn off lights and all power heads/return pump cause they are light and will float around before settling. There are usually some at J&L for 14.95 I recommend them over peppermint shrimp and copperbands.

i breed them-all the ones at j&l i've bred-i just brought in 20 the other day,but with my move i lost most of my aptasia

[monocus]

usually 2-3 per gallon-depending how fast you want them gone and how bad your aptasia problem is.i put 8 in my 220 after a bad infestation-took 6 months to clear

[Zoaelite]

Will they go after anything besides the aptasia? I have some mojeno's in there that need that need to be taken care of, I take it once they eradicate the pests there population drops to a sustainable level?

i had some mojeno's in my tank and the berghia seemed to take care of them too-but they will eat all the small aptasia first ,then the large with the mojeno's-like eating ,veal,steak,then hamburger

I have a sump full of Aiptasia and a few mojanos in my display now all i need are some of these nudis ...to bad were so far apart ..

I wish you lived around these parts... I could provide you with enough food to keep a (gaggle? pack? herd?) of your nudi's happy and well fed for months. Have you had many responses from people a little closer yet?

[monocus]

no response yet-but then i've brought down a couple hundred berghia to j&l in the last 6 months
