Make sure they're peppermints and not camels...too many stores throw them all together and don't know the difference. 5 peppermints are a good start, provided you don't have large wrasses or other fish that eat them...

I hope you are happy with their effect...they have always worked very well for me... I spent a long time trying to figure out the differences in appearance as they can look very similar. I think I finally figured out the easiest way to differentiate them. Camels are not as see-through and they have little while circles on their bodies...peppermints have NO circles at all. Looking at the lines alone do not cut it as they can look virtually the same.
