amphipod

Recommended Posts

The tank sounds big enough for a pretty pygmy/pink streak wrasse ;)

 

hmm! will look into, thanks! someone suggested a possum

wrasse and i didn't particularly like the pinched face look of it.

i'm so judgy. ha!

it was awful. i had no fish. only corals,

my two sexies, and GIANT amphipods. they

were aggressive suckers too. was more than happy

to lose most of them in the 8g upgrade. though

i think at least one bristleworm hitched a ride. i see

little things whisping around in new tank, but they

look more like coepods, for now.

 

My Citron Goby dive bombs pods all day. Snacks!

How big of amphipods?

 

i'm assuming you're talking to me?

if i assumed wrong, oh well. ha!

 

1/2 inch. big nasty things.

 

i totally would have donated them to you too. ha!

but they are hard to catch.

When I amphipod "hunt" usually I will take their sand, mud, algae, or whatever they get on to capture them and their army. I've (as indicated by my forum name) always been fascinated by them

 

One way I suggest to solve the infestation is just utilize them as awesome pets, tweezers feed them, they usually eat directly from the tweezers for me, at least the freshwater ones do

Those priceless beauties if I could I'd have 1000 tanks overflowing with amphipods like them :) check out phronima and talitrus. The only ones I've kept so far are gammarus, and some funny one that looked real similar to my profile pic, but was slightly different.

talitrus just looks like those mole cricket things that chill in basements... phronima is terrifying

Were the dream squid big like the Humboldt, or little like the glass squid?

 

they were small and dark and bursting from

my eyeballs. maybe tiny ink squids? (though

are those always pale?)

 

anyway, if i were a horror novelist, the image

would be incorporated into a future story. ha!
