AquaticEngineer Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Definately have a few peppermint shrimp in there to keep the aptasia under control and they will spawn and dump the babies into the main tank for food You could always do some pygmy seahorses in one chamber towards the end so that the pods would flow to them as a food source.

I would love some pygmy sea horses, but I don't think I could find the time to keep the brine shrimp cultures going. I have been lucky so far, no aptasia, but I like the idea of peppermint shrimp breeding (plotting) You have hit on the one major draw back to having the fuge chambered, if I had bubble algae aphasia ext. I would need 8 peppermint shrimp and 8 emerald crabs :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with the amount of pods that will grow out and make their way through the chambers. Maybe hook up a little auto feeder like the one I made Just rotate the shrimp from cube to cube to kill off the aptasia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
