Got Aptasia Problems?

[MadMax]

I've got two pair of adult size Berghia Nudibranches available for $25 per pair.

Got them through the group buy as juveniles and nursed them for a few months.

They completely whiped out the aptasia infestation that was in my sump in about a month's time

Available until both pairs are gone, first come first served (sorry, no saving....first to pay gets 'em)

I have about 20-30 aptasia how long will it take them to eat all that?

 

[MadMax]

One pair is sold, I have one more pair left.

Retin, it depends on your tank size. If it is a small tank they'll most likely find and eat them all fairly quick (about a week). I would only recommend Berghias if you have a ton of aiptasia, like 50-100 and you need some serious help fast. From my experience and from what I've read of others experiences they only live for a month or two and then die without finishing off the problem. You never know though, MadMax said he had them for a few months. At any rate, $25 for a pair is a great deal.

Will a mystery wrasse go after them?

 

[retin78]

thank you. One die already hopefully the other one will make it and eat the rest of my aptasia.

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what their life cycle is, these may very well be next generation of the original batch...no way of telling (not really relevent anyway)
In my case, I added ten really tiny specimines that I thought for sure just blew away in the current, but sure enough my sump is now clear of hundreds (or more) aptasia

I wouldn't assume the other one died so easily. They tend to ball up like a pill bug when threatened, I would leave it in your aquarium just in case

the one that die was my fault. The clown came and pick on it. For got to turn off the late. And the other disappear like you said they would. haha. Now all I have to do is count the aptasia.

Since you live so close, come back by and I'll give you a replacement one for free.

thanks kevin. Only if you have extra. I don't want to waste it. Let me see in a few days if the other one is taking down my aptasia or not. If I don't see any reduction with the aptasia I'll let you know.

They live approx. 9 months if I remember right.

 

[MadMax]

while looking for Eric's pair I found another pair. So one more pair available for $25

 

[MadMax]

any other takers for this last pair?

last day and last chance for these last two berghias
