impur Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hey Garrett can you get keyhole limpets? I have some hydroids in my tank that i can't get rid of and i've read these guys eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Honestly I haven't seen any on any of my lists. I will have to dig deep and check and see what I can find out on my next order. I have a couple of smaller limpets in my tanks that I will try and put in a critter cage next time I see them. I was doing some fraggin last nice and noticed then when I lifted up some of the LR and rubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaticEngineer Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Keyholes are the ones with the black mantel all the way around them right? I used to have tons of them in one of my old systems. I'm pretty sure if you talk to anyone that lives in the eugene area with an established tank they will have some. I used to give em out to people when they bought frags from my house, and anyone who bought liverock from my old system down there surely has some.

RLaForce Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Sounds good. I'll start rounds up some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaticEngineer Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Let me know if any of those make their way up to the Portland/Beaverton area, I'd love to have some again. Good to know there is still a thriving supply of them in Eugene (clap) If any one remembers Gary ( big hawaiian guy from Pet Time), him and I used to wait in the store after we closed when we worked there for those things to come out at night so we could catch em. They sure are a pain in the butt to pry off if u dont catch em by suprise. (laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePremiumAquarium Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 LOL they are a defiante pain to get off. I am glad that someone local has some. I have some in the tanks but I would have to hunt them down in order to get a few bagged up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
