Aiptasia update!
Aiptasia update!
Thanks for the Park Ridge info - that's a GREAT shop! Plus, they have a 7 day guarantee, which I've never known a fish shop to have!
I originally bought three berghias from the St. Louis company that sells them (I think it was saltyunderground), but I'm not sure they're even still alive. After four weeks, the Aptasia continued to get worse on a daily basis.
Now I have six (I believe) peppermint shrimp in the tank (I know they eat berghia), and I hope at least a few of them are the aiptasia-eating shrimp, and that at least ONE of them starts eating Aiptasia!
I called another berghia shop in Texas, and the guy who owns it told me that you can train the peppermint shrimp to dine on Aiptasia if you, two hours after lights-out, use an eye-dropper and place some mysis shrimp in the eye of the aiptasia. The peppermint can learn to eat the aiptasia that way.
Anyone else have any true Aiptasia success? Thanks!
