which lfs has peppermint shrimp now?

[daphaze1]

i bought like 30 peppermints before =) did nothing for me. well a little, but they stopped. got more and still helped but never got rid of it. then i got the copperband and instantly gone. unfortunately my copperband didn't eat anything else. =/ my friend's survived though. Anyways i heard there was another one like it. Its got one less stripe and heard it'd be easier to keep, as it will eat dry goods. You guys can try that out....

I've never lost a fish I have bought from striclty fish, and that is saying alot, considering I have 10 freshwater tanks and three saltwater tanks, 50% of the fish I have bought from strictly. Yesterday at the sale I bought three for my salt tanks, a clown, brown, and sailfin tang, have had no problems and acclimation with them was a great process. Striclty actually get there fish in on Tues./Wed. and Sat. depending on how busy they are, so they had been sitting there at least overnight.

I bought a pair of black ocellaris yesterday and they are doing good. I am waiting til saturday to purchase more fish. They have a good selection and I can't pass the summer sale. I don't want to place the fish directly into my display tank, so I set up a couple of ten gallon tanks to match their specific gravity, to make the acclimation easier and faster.

from experience....peppermints do eat aptasia.

I bought 3 a couple of days ago and I dropped a couple of zoo colonies into their tank and they didn't pay any attention to them. They are picking in between each poylp, but not eating any aptasias. I really don't like peppermint shrimp, so I have them in a tank of their own, thank god I didn't put them in my tank because it would've been a paid to get them out.

All my livestock is retarded. I bought 7 berghias and they didn't touch the aptasia. Two of them died on me and the rest disappeared. I finally decided to start using chemicals on the aptasia and found the berghia in my zoo colony. The chemical works really good. I bought it at strictly fish and in a few minutes it destroyed the aptasia. Can't remember the name though.

was it joes juice?

 

[kevinrs]

joes juice worked great for me!

 

[AtlanticReef]

was it joes juice?

Joe juice for using to kill aptasia. Sea side tropical fish in Huntington beach is selling $6.99 for a bottle.

 

[rbdesigns]

It was some other chemical. It's not made by tropical marin, ends in marin, but don't remember. It's a green paste.

I think you mean: Chem Marin - Stop Aiptasia

Right?

 

[rbdesigns]

Yeah that's correct.

Glad I could help!
