mojano wand

Roman,
Do you have aptasia or mojano?  I had dozens of aptasia in my tank a few months ago, first killed them by squirting kalk paste on them but couldn't keep up and they were still multiplying.  Picked up 3 peppermint shrimp here in CR and they never touched them.  Then I bought 4 more at AC&C during one of their sales and all my aptasia except one big one were gone in less than 2 mos. in my 40br and even today I still have that one that I'm too lazy to kill off with kalk paste but no more have shown up.  I would highly recommend you get a few of them from AC&C and let them work if you have aptasia.

 

Have you tried a file fish? I bought one for $15 and within two weeks all the aptasia is gone.Good luck!

 

A Copperband butterfly will take care of them as well.

 

I should say make sure you get one that is eating first if you go that route.

 

Keep in mind there are two different kinds of peppermint shrimp, the one species won't touch apstasia.

 

How do you tell the difference?

 

I got 10 shrimp 2 years ago and they ate 300 stalks (aptasia) if not more in my 90 gallon in 2 months......I bought 10 more for my 125 tank 3 months ago and the little bastards did not touch the aptasia.......hmmm thats nice to know I thought there were only 1 kind of peppermint shrimp........

 

I have one, it works, it just takes for ever. And you need something to help fight em back after you kill them. I have 2 matted file fish and 2 copperbands and it is slowly getting better. When I have time I zap the big ones which the fish will not touch.

 

I have aptasia, but basically they are the same thing.

 

There is only one kind of Peppermint shrimp, but the camel back shrimp is sometimes past off as a Peppermint shrimp.
