So I had a major breakout of these pesky critters blooming everywhere. I did the lemon thing and ApX stuff with little success as they came back a few weeks later. Decided on going to a natural predator and not the branch type. I chose a file fish. Cool fish especially when he stands on his nose. The little guy hid for a few days then made his grand debut by picking on a few Apatasia that decided to push over my GSP's to the point that thay began to recede and die off. After he cleared out a rock the size of a softball (about 50+ Apatasias) the GSP began to return and fill the rock back up, he then began to target the smaller areas that the apatasia where overtaking and ultimately eradicated them all. All this took place in a span of one month. So now the bad, Although he loves myasis, krill and shrimp, he started to eyeball my hammers and frogs and ate two heads on each, needless to say i had to remove my 25 head hammer and frog to another tank till i trap him and remove from my main tank. most likely will house him in my fuge for now. Now if anyone out there has an apatasia issue and would like to rent the guy.....lol, drop me a message and perhaps i can help. He is a hardy eater as he probably ate over 200 :dancef them and he does eat the frozen food also.
