MrBret Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I have a 25gallon i think on my desk at the office. I had roughly 25 to 30 aptasia they i could see. I put 10 peppermint shrimp in when i left on Friday, not a single aptasia left that i can find so time to nett them up and move them to another tank. If you have an aptasia problem, just load up on some of the peppermints and you should be in the clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayPuff Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Awesome i used to have a fish i passed around that would wipe them out. Glad to see they did the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboys Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 My hawk fish likes peppies to much. I would of never purchased him had I known. Great tip for everyone though. I can't say all hawks have a sweet tooth for them but sadly mine does. I love the way peps rock back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuttleFishandCoral Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Good to hear that they worked. They were tank raised and feed aptasias to grow. U can actually buy aptasia frags to feed them. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBret Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm just realy surprised they did the job in 2 days. I have used them in the past in bigger tanks, and it always taks a few weeks for them to get a rhythm down or something. I Have a few other tanks to move them through, so hopefully these Special tank raised aptasia fed killing machines obliterate the ones hanging out in our other tanks. Jeff, if your reading this.....i would like 10 more, lol. The other tanks they need to work on are bigger. And i want a rolling army of aptasia death going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
