Just curios if people in Vancouver area want Berghia?

I am getting some Berghia on Tuesday and if there was enough interest in the area I would consider breeding them, I would sell them for ~$15-20 locally.

Anyone interested or think it is worth the effort?

I'm interested and it is worth to try for breeding them. One of my fowlr system was infected with aiptasia two years ago when I bought 40 lbs of live rocks from another member. Now I got tons of these guys in the display tank only and the advantage is my water in the DT is crystal clear.

Cool I would love to know how you do it. If you don't mind sharing, I have PM'd you for info.

BTW I kind of want to give it a try now. I am getting excited for Tuesday delivery!

What were you selling them to J&L for?

monocus · #8 09-20-2010, 06:36 AM

j&l were selling them for 14. 95 each-i got 7.95 for each-but you bring in 40 or 50 a month it really adds up.next project i am going to breed are neon gobies-and then slowly work up to helfinger gobies.all the while dropping the prices for everyone

PS. You want to keep berghia's in groups of two or more as they actually need to double team an aptasia to take it down, especially bigger aptasia.

I am interested in a pair and would like to know how to breed them.

Do they eat anything that I might not want them to eat?
