Sean_Buckley Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I took the piece of live rock mine was living on out of the tank, got a lighter, fried the little sucker for a few minutes, scrubbed him off the rock with a toothbrush and freshwater. Down the drain he goes! Sean Link to comment
nu2salt Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Get peppermint shrimps. They love aptasia. I tried to inject & they kept multiplying. I had 3 in my 1G peco tank. Put a shrimp in there & the aptasia was gone in 2 days so I left him in the tank in case any more pop up.. Link to comment
Pinrod Urkish Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I have a Pepermint shrimp (3yrs old knock on wood). Always keeps one aptasia alive I guess for a treat, w/e he does his job and that All I ask from him. Link to comment
phergus_25 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 damn I wish i could keep one alive for that long, I have had 3 and they all lived about 6 months then die. I do my WCs and they most, who knows, but they really do keep the aptisia to nothin, I'm gonna get another to get rid of the few I have. -greg Link to comment
Reef_Mad_Man Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 IF you get a pep. shrimp make sur eit is WILD CAUGHT. Captive bred pep's wont touch it because it has never been a staple in thier diet. Wild pep's eat is as a part of thier natural diet. BTW it IS DEFINATELY an aptasia. Pep. shrimp, kalk paste, hot lemon juice usualy dose the trick. Joes juice is hot garbage though. IMO. Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Yeah, inject it with some boiling water or kalk paste. Syringe. Link to comment
HarryT747 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Is there a point where the aptasia will get large enough that the peppermint will not eat it? Link to comment
randygsx Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 My peppermint shrimp at an aiptasia that was 3/4 his size...I dont think they care how big they are. ~randy Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Can be, but some pepps just never eat Aiptasia. Link to comment
Joseph14 Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hey but the rock he is in is really nice could i keep the rock even though i kill him or is the rock a goner Link to comment
Reef_Mad_Man Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Most all captive bred pepermint shrimp will not eat aptasia. ALL wild caught pepermint shrimp will "usualy" eat aptasia. This is because it is a natural part of thier diet in the wild. Captive bred pepermint shrimp dont know wat to do with aptasia because the have always eaten left over fish food and such. Also, it depends on the shrimp as to wether or not it will eat larger apatasia. Most will only go after the smaller ones. Inject the aptasia with hot lemon juice. I promise you it will kill it.

Fishguy Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Get Joe's Juice. the only thing that'll be "a goner" is the anemone. Link to comment
