I never seen my pep shrimp out in the open and thought it died within the first week. None of the aip was eaten but all of a sudden, I would see a couple of aips disappear each night. Now I don't have any visible signs of aip. I even had a frag with an aip on it from my sump and threw it in the DT and the next morning the aip was cleaned off. But peps will only work if they aren't being hunted down by fish.
ive tried peppermints and a two copperbands. neither worked for me. im back to AptaisaX. This time I've been serious with it and it seems to be working. I've killed about half in a week. The key is to shoot them in the mouth and not poke them. if you poke them they spit it all out along with more spores. I also turn off all pumps.
Yes it is true.. peppermint shrimp do not always work..especially when they are DEAD!!,,You also have to make sure you buy peppermint shrimp that are hungry..HUGE difference!...Yes, I am a paid spokesman for the National Unified Trans-species Shrimp Action Committee (NUTSAC).....Just kidding...Ill stop now with the whole shrimp thing....ES
I have used Filefish also - in the beginning, they seem like they don't do anything or touch the Aptaisia but about 1month, suddenly all the Aptaisia is GONE. Problem now is that they start munching on my Duncans and Frogspawn (i actually witness it), they already kill 2 branches of my Frogspawn, will try to get them out now with a TRAP....
As far as Butterfly, i tried it on my other tank - Kleins Butterfly seem to work better and so far it has not bother my Corals...
