LF: Aiptasia Eating Nudibranch
 

Please help!

I got a lot of this pest growing on my rocks.

I was able to separate infected rocks from the main display tank into another tank.

If anyone has one to sell please PM me asap!


Thanks!

one will do nothing.... if it survives! One for every 10 gallons required and heads up.... if you have a wrasse they will only be food.

+1... When I was breeding them I would recommend a minimum of 3 as they need to meet and breed to achieve sufficient numbers as their lifespan is relatively short.

Agree for sure on needing more than one , however 1 per 10 gallons is a little extreme I would say. I've used 5 on a 100g system a couple times with success. Have you witnessed a wrasse eat one before ? I've used them before with a tank full of wrasse , and I've seen the wrasse put one in his mouth , but quickly spit it out. From what I've read they taste horrible because all they eat are aptasia , not sure who figured out they taste bad though ? Lol

Thanks for all the input.

I'll definitely need 3 at least.

I have all the Live Rocks which are infected with Aiptasia in a tank by itself.

Anyone know where I can get some in the GVRD?

I've tried everything to get rid of them and the only successful way is to burn them but that will take a life time because they keep popping up.

JL aquatics is selling them now.

Keep in mind, even the berghia won't get ALL of them.

They'll eventually make a comeback, *most* of the time, unless you just have a few small rocks in a small aquarium with no plumbing.

They work great, and I use them once a year or so, they get rid of all aptasia but after 4-5 months I start seeing babies, and the babies mature, and it's a never ending cycle lol.

Does molly millers eat aptaisia with success?

I think Jl is selling some shrimp that eat aptaisia but you need an army.

Thinking of picking up 10 peppermints....
