Ummm, does anyone need bristleworms.

[wentreefgirl]

I just saw an add for 3 for 12.99. They will sell anything these days.

So, what's wrong with bristleworms? Excellent detrivores, usually harmless, and not all are bad for your tank...

 

[danfrith]

Yeah but you can just go buy a piece of liverock too.

 

[sruiz]

hey theres nothing wrong with trying to make a dollar. I'll sell you some scrapings of Coraline Algea for 4.00. j/k.
Some people suck and try to rip off other newbies.

 

[wentreefgirl]

sruiz-that was my point. Everyone has them already. But they are selling you something like it was a coral. I sell my coraline too but thats for people who are in need ofpink. Its like someone selling you aiptasia telling you its a baby anenome.

 

[cowboyswife]

Sometimes you can buy aiptasia on ebay lol!

 

[wentreefgirl]

That was ebay. ha.

Anyone want to buy shrimp and crab moltings? $10/100 grams. These things are very high in calcium and a great alternative to adding supplements to your tank. Seriously!

There's always new people wanting them, old people trying to get rid of them. They're a buck a piece at inland aquatics. I've gave them away before.

 

[lhoy]

Even worse, right now on ebay you can get:

1.) 6 Spaghetti Worms for 17.99 plus 10.00 shipping (someone has actually bid at that)
2.) 10 Micro brittle stars for 20.00

Can you imagine what that cost is per ounce? Worse than selling crack!!

I think it is a shame how some newbies get suckered in, but just shows how far a little research can take you!

I don't understand why you knock those selling bristleworms.

Bristleworms are highly desireable and included in detritivore kits at several major retailers, including Inland Aquatics and ISPS.

Why is selling bristleworms some type of scam and yet, selling coraline is fine "I sell my coraline too but thats for people who are in need of pink."? I've purchased several detritivore kits for new tanks because I was in need of reef scavengers.

I think the point is that they should be FREE.

 

[mfp1016]

So should chaeto....but people charge for that

 

[wentreefgirl]

LOJ is right. And $4 something a peice. Yikes.

 

[Macimage]

Actually, it was compared to selling aiptasia, which is a harmful inhabitant that most reefers are desparately trying to get rid of. Why would some one selling bristleworms be comparable to someone selling aiptasia?
