Red Bugs

[janderson8]

Has any one ever had any bad side effects when treating with interceptor? I know it will kill all shrimp PODS and star fish but will it kill fish or corals????

 

[Freed]

Will not kill starfish. No ill side effects and some pods and shrimp can live well thru it. Will not kill any fish or corals.

yea starfish dont die. after treatnebt, I found a bunch of brittle stars in my sand

Pod population decreased to a minimum. Only a couple i my fuge rite now. Use to be crazy with tiny shrimps and pods

Of the three skunk cleaners, one survived

hermit crabs die too

 

[carpus]

haha. no, it wont kill fish and coral

NO loss in fish
NO loss in coral

in my case. corals are what we are trying to treat, no loss

LOL

Sorry but I am a little lost my tank has been doing so good tell I got a new Acro about a week ago. So as long as I treat it as directed I should not have any problems?

No problems just as long as you remove your crabs, shrimp, pods, etc., that you want to keep.

My crabs and shirmps are still alive when I treated interceptor.

 

[janderson8]

So can some one tell me where to find the kind you all used and the directions on how to use it? THanks Jason

 

[janderson8]

If that is when your problems started then it is likely not red bugs, or at least not from the new acro. They'll take longer than a week to spread throughout the tank.

 

[janderson8]

They are only on one or two that are in close procimity to the new Acro

 

[Snausages01]

Chances are that you all ready had them in your tank before the new acro.
