Aiptasia control
wrote in message ...
Pszemol wrote: wrote in message ... also, i fully agree with pszemol, natural biological control is always better than chemical control, in ANY circumstance, human or fish. but Agreed, when it works. When it doesn't... Tell me about your tank... how big is it. 55 gallon. How many aiptasias? More than I used to have. At this point, over a hundred. How many shrimps you get? Started with 5. Good scavangers, lousey anenomenephages. So how many peppermint shrimps you had top in 55 gallons and how many aiptasias you got THEN (not now...) ? Now, with a hundred fully grown anemones this is way too late for 5 shrimps to make a dent... Aiptasia will grow much faster than shrimp can keep up consuming them... You need to get shrimps to work when you see first one or two large aiptasia polyps and then it is effective method.
