ezcompany Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 the trick with peppermints is to keep them fed. if you see how much they actually eat its pretty sick. i feed mine a whole piece of krill during feeding time of my corals. the krill is almost as big as him. he's like, eating a clone of himself...

mahi mahi boy Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Their inordinate capacity for raw fish is something else. He can eat a nice sized slice of fish, about the same size bait I'd use for a pinfish. Link to comment
Nyxis Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Easiest way to remove these buggers, red light darkness and a net. Anyways now there in the exile tank waiting for a mantis. But these must be the lysmata californica because they went right after my corals again once the lights were out. Link to comment
icenine Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Oh... peps are not a great idea. I did it, but while it got rid of the pests I wound up breaking down the tank to get rid of the murderous lil bastard months later. Any yeah, it was a Lysmata wurdemanni. See the Simpsons season seven "Bart-the mother" episode for an example of the slippery slope you tread when you get a shrimp to eat your pest anemones. Maybe there is a type of gorrilla that eats shrimp? Link to comment
