i'm breeding them now-how big is your tank

Its a 90 gals. I have two 90s but one is bad right now. The other is not as bad.

Let me know how we can do this if possible.

Thanks,

Manny

you need about 6 berghia-shipping is roughly $27-$30-maybe cheaper to calgary-i sell them for $14 each

Deal, how can we do this then? ok so when these animals eat all the aiptasia, what do they eat? I've heard that the only thing the eat, is that true?

all sea slugs have specialized diets-berghia only eat aptasia-you can always start an aptasia tank and breed them as well-i can't keep up with the demand

So I don't know about starting another tank though, I don't wanna starve these guys to death when they are done eating all the aiptasia.

Try a peppermint shrimp. Cleared my tank out within two weeks... granted mine was a nano.

you can take them out of the tank after they have cleaned up the aptasia and give or sell them to someone else-best done at night when they are active.they can go without food for 7 days.aptasia will always crop up again even after the berghia have done thier work-either from introduction of new coral or just one daughter cell in the water collumn.i don't mind aptasia in my overflow or my sump as they clean the water.you can also try a small bannerfish for aptasia on top of the rock
