Apasia Anenomes

[Zman16]

I have alot of apasia anenomies (sorry if i spelled that wrong) in my fish tank and I'm wondering how to get rid of them? I know peppermint shrimp work sometimes, but is there a sure fired way to get rid of them?

Thanks

when i had aptasia i just got a few peppermint shrimp and within a week problem solved... now they say not all peppermint shrimp will eat aptasia so its kinda luck i guess but i had success with them *thumbsups

It's kind of hit or miss with them from what I have read. Joe's Juice is supposed to do the trick.

 

[TRe]

yea but lets say its a miss big deal you have a peppermint shrimp

 

[Joe Fish]

And you still have aptasia.

 

[Zman16]

I don't have peppermint shrimp, I have a pistol shrimp.

And you still have aptasia.

all i was sayin was who cares if you get stuck with a peppermint shrimp they dont bother anyone and if they do eat the aptasia then there u go *thumbsups

Good point. I thought about getting a peppermint or two just in case I do get aptasia. Do they feed on other corals?

Do they get along with other shrimp?

aptasia arent corals they are anemones.

 

[Joe Fish]

I know that, but if they eat those I thought they might also have a taste for other inverts.
