yeah but once they get to a manageable amount you can manually remove them

Thanks for the info, still considering both options

This was my experience with a CBB and aiptasia. My aips were out of hand. The CBB devoured them last July and I've been managing them with weekly maintenance ever since.

I tried the copperband route it did great but just couldn't handle being harassed by my yellow tang. went on vacation came back and the tank as over run with them then decided to get berghia and decided to just let them grow so they had something to eat and well they got a bit out of hand

question...if you get a pair of nudi's, hasn't it been reported that they will make more nudi's? even if the first two die off, there is always another round?

 

[jfl14609]

theoretically but they have to be in love hehe. the problem is they dont reproduce really fast and think about how much space their is in your aquarium and how small they berghia are the ods of a few actually finding enough to eat is slim to none

 

[superkat]

yeah, see, that's sad...because i love those guys...i like the way they move and the way they look..but to have one for only a few weeks (or days, i've heard), is BS.

 

[jfl14609]

you could set up a nano and fill it with aptaisia and keep some longer then sell the babies

 

[superkat]

oh god....here we go..how many tanks do i have????

 

[jfl14609]

you only need a little one 5 gallons will work

 

[superkat]

well, i'm pretty sure i've got that in my garage...this is an interesting possibility....

I actually use the little disposable salad bowls with lids to do all my breeding... No heaters or filtration. The problem with trying to breed them in a display is that copepods eat the egg sacks. jfl14609 when I drop them off to you I will give you some tips to raise the egg sacks. Hopefully you will be able to raise enough to provide all the local reefers near you Berghia at a reasonable price.

 

[jfl14609]

works for me I have a nice 2.5 gallon ready for water

 

[superkat]

babies!

 

[jfl14609]

ok kat looks like I am back to begging for your fish

 

[superkat]

hmmmmmm.....rethink your PM and incorporate trade of Timmy. We'll talk.

 

[jfl14609]

Well just an update. I have two of these now one doesnt touch anything the other has completely reacked havock on my tank loves brain corals, cynaria, frogspawn, and as of just a few minutes ago clams as well man he has good taste

 

[superkat]

omg...jeff, have you gotten him out yet? shoot.

 

[jfl14609]

Nope he pops out eats something he souldnt and then hides I am prob going to have to break the tank down tomorrow I am thinking another option I had was to pour a beer in the tank and hope he gets drunk and swims a little slower hehe just kidding $$disclamer NO DO NOT POOR BEER IN YOUR TANK ONLY VODKA IN LOW DOSES$$
