Berghia nudibranches?

[insanefishguy]

Does anybody know if a good source for berghia nudibranches? Maybe even somebody local? I'm seeing aiptasia popping up in all my zoa colonies and getting very stressed about it.

I got some from salty underground before. My wrasses ate them before they got done though. The zapper doesn't reach everywhere so I may order some more since I don't have those wrasses right now.

I need to make a move on getting the damn things soon. Salty won't be shipping large nudis until the 26. Wanna go in together and get some?

 

[Just Jim]

I'm looking to get a small group together for a group buy right now. Anyone whom Joe or I are familiar with can get in on this.

Lets push this back a week if that's ok. I've got a few things going on early next week.

 

[insanefishguy]

I actually manged to get a load of coral to a not so local fish store, thanks to Tony, and got a dozen peppermints. If I don't see a major improvement when you are ready though, I may still be in. I'll just have to release my hawkfish to enjoy some peppermints. I need progress asap and couldn't pass up the store credit option. I've been biding my time patiently for a couple months waiting on a copper band to be ready and the population just keeps growing.

Back on for next week. With shipping I'll be getting the 1/4" size for $10 each. 14 of the 20 I'm ordering are accounted for. Pickup will be in Fleetwood PA. I can order more at $10/ea if need be.

How many would I need?

How many would I need?

8 would be perfect for the orders needs, but realistically at least 4 for ur setup I'd think. They will breed if there's enough food. You have to weigh out what will pick at them verse how fast they'd reproduce. And of course they'll die once all the aiptasias gone, but that means they did their job. My Aiptasia got outta control so $100 to rid myself of it once and for all is worth it at this point.

I was talking to Kelvin about them once. He said it's important to turn off all of your flow - powerheads, returns, etc and use a turkey baster to place them directly on top of the aptasia rather than hope they find the aptasia just throwing them in.

Definitely turn off flow. My plan is to add them at night with the flow off. My Aiptasia in my zoa colonies is where I plan to introduce them. I got a few from salty critter a few years back and had great success. I just reintroduced them by not checking frags close enough. A mistake that won't happen ever again. I remember having a few YEARS of Aiptasia free tanks. I took that for granted.....

6 left to meet the minimum order people!!! I can order extras too, but I need 6 to get the discount.

DO NOT place them directly on top of aptasia or they will be eaten!

I'll pick up the remaining 6.

I'm going to have to push this back at least one week. My wife realized I pumped a little too much money into my hobby and asked me to chill. So a week should do, lol.
