aptaisia problem

[wowzuhs]

hey guys, I just noticed a few little aptaisias growing in my tank :a43: I tried using joe's juice but it seems like that just kills them for a bit then they spread again. I've heard of berghia's helping with the problem but I can't find any. Is there any other way to get rid of these bastards??

they are doing a group buy maybe you can get in on it contact steve see if you can still get in on it

there are a lot of sites that sell em, my peppermint's took care of mine, but they are hit or miss.

get a copperband butterfly fish.................i've had mine over a year now and he takes care of them

ive always had good luck with peppermints. if i ever have one that doesnt start eating them right away i just tear at an aptasia near where the peppermint hangs out ...and its on.

I solved my problem with 4 peppermint shrimp. Worked really well for me.

I had a peppermint that did a great job.then my pistol shrimp killed him.what a jerk

I tried a peppermint in the past, but that sucker was picking at one of my mushroom corals so out he went! Maybe I'll try again.

Do Copper band pick or nip at any corals??

some swear it doesnt, its also a hit and miss

i had alot in my tank and i threw in a file fish and never had them again... The file fish did not pick at my coral either.

Peppermints did the trick for me. I had a massive problem when I came home from school, my mom thought they were cool looking......

I had to kill the big ones myself but the peppermints kept up with any new ones that appeared. That was until all 3 of them were gone, luckily they got rid of all the peppermints first though!

**** i tried pepermints but my wrasses tear them down

 

[tennisstudrogie]

3 peppermints took out all of the aiptasia for me.. I did have no fish at the time though so I would starve them.

Get in this. It's still open until everyone listed pays. This is the best price you will find for berghia.

Joes Juice then add some peppermints to get the remainder of them. That has always been the formula i go by.

 

[MikeReef]

Peppermints are hit or miss indeed. Nudi Berghia will die off once they have removed the aptasia as nothing else for them to eat.

Get an Aptasia Wand and zap them as it works like a charm.

 

[wowzuhs]

Geez the Aptasia wand sounds pricey. That's that laser thing right? I'm probably just gonna grab some berghia and then give them away once all my aptasias are gone. No use in keeping them and letting them die off. Haha hopefully someone else with an aptasia problem can use them

I have a DYI zapper wand that I can let you borrow. Lmk
