eMac’s Berghia Diary

It took about 4 to 6 weeks to see babies that were bigger then 2mm. When eggs hatch they are so so tiny I definitely couldn’t make them out. Were talking smaller then the tip if a syringe tip.
So I started the breeding tank in late February. I still have my 5 large adults. The berghia that are the baddies are almost at breeding age. These are the berghia I’ll be transferring over to the plastic bins. So I’m about 2.5 months I’m getting reproducing adults. But I do keep my temp on the lower side. I hear if the temp is 80-82 degrees they reproduce faster and grow quick I have set one bin at 81 degrees to see if this is true. I’ll find out in a few months I’d say.

Yea. I tried peppermints first too, but my mystery wrasse love the taste of peppermint. I tried a file fish and it ate zoas before aiptaisa. Also tried several copperband butterflies but they all died. Berghia was the last resort. I just couldn’t see dropping the money on berghia until I had dropped so much on other failed options. By the time I finally pulled the trigger on berghia I had enough aiptaisa to feed an army.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I have tried peppermint in my old tank before, they do take care of some but never fully remove all aiptasia. The filefish I recently bought start nipping on chalice since day one so I have to remove it. I just put four berghia in my tank and I don’t think I have enough. Especially, I have large pod population. Maybe I will try to order more large berghia.
