AquaticEngineer Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I have a few in my tank already but was wondering if anybody out there has some to get rid of? I'm gonna throw em down in my sump to reproduce as a supplement to chocolate chip stars for my new harlequin. I work in Lake Oswego and live in Beaverton off of Scholls and Murray, so if your anywhere in between there I can stop by on my way home from work and take em off your hands On another note, anybody know who has the best deals on starfish feeders theses days?

JManrow Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I have seen relatively inexpensive, drab colored "feeder" Linckias on wholesale lists. Call some of the LFS to see if they can order you some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Mr. Franklin works much better. Seriously, I don't know if I have any in my tank right now. I know I had one earlier, but I have not seen it in a LOOOOOOONG time. Sorry. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I found a few Asterinas in my tank for you. Sent you a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barelycuda Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I have some in my tank but I am in Vancouver so it is a little bit of a drive. There were quite a few the other evening. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaticEngineer Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 I managed to get a few from waves yesterday when I was picking up cc stars, hopefully the harlequin will take her time eating those guys so that the asterinas can multiply.

spectra Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Only problem with the asternias is that they are like eating a peanut(laugh) to the shrimp. I have 2 in my main tank and they eat CC stars like crazy so would not even want to atempt the asternias as a food supply. My sons tank has them growing all over but do not even want to spend the time to pull them out. Just spend the 5 bucks at Waves and get the CC stars. Letely I have found Waves has some real nice chunky ones in there(clap) they seem to last a little more than a week for the pair that I have.

AquaticEngineer Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yeah I've decided to go with the cc stars and rotate through about 5, taking a limb every 3-4 days. If I can get an insane amount of asterinas reproducing in my sump I may try feeding her some of them. My pair I had a while back would eat a nice sized ball of aterinas wadded together twice a week.
