Looking for Peppermint Shrimp

[jc85]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a peppermint shrimp to help me get rid of aiptasia in my tank.

Can't use other method to rid of it because I some of them are growing on my clam shell and among my star ployp.

Anyone saw them can PM me?

Thanks in advance.

JC

get a needle used for diabetics and inject the aiptasia with kalwasser. Most effective. Peppermint shrimps might not just not eat aiptasias, they might even eat you zoos or some other softies.

I was fortunate...

I got one that eats aiptasia and now my rocks are aiptasia-free...

And my shrimp is now 'pui pui twa twa jiak'...

Ryz... it will only work for aiptasias that are easily accessible. Do it wrongly and you may even find a new aiptasia in its place if it wasn't completedly killed.

I gave up using kalkwasser paste because there are so many places in my LR that I can't reach... and leaving them there will guarantee a multiplication of plague proportions.

Even Copperbands may not even reach an aiptasia if it's in a awkward area.

From my experience with peppermints.... I give them two thumbs up! Every single aiptasia, in nooks and crannies, on clam shells... were cleaned up within the space of 1 month.

I have 4 peppermints and I see one of them with eggs... so it'll be even better coz I get natural and free coral and fish food!

Peppermint shrimps are reefsafe and I have never seen them disturb any zoos or other softies like xenias in my tank. They scavenge the sandbed and pick at stuff on my glass.

You got xenias and zoos liao ah?

Hmm...it's high time I gate-crash your place again...

My white xenias have been with me since Aquarama.... my orange zoanthids (tiny clump) were given to me as a X'mas Party present.
