the battles on!!!.......an unforeseen problem has encountered and the bonsai tree is under attack.....by PODS!!!



lots of feeding and no fish and thousands of breeding places created an army of feeding monsters.


theyve gone zoo crazy and are digging holes in the stalks, crawling into the heads, probabably breeding as well.they leave a small hole in which pods go in back and forth almost like ants....they have colonized

id say theres 6-7 full grown pods per square inch in my tank.....thats big ones who knows how many ones to tiny to see.



release the hounds!!!!!!!



my green mandy has now been sent into to defend the tree and bring the population down , shes only going to be a temp resident but i couldnt think of anything else to do.


she immediately is gone on a feeding frenzy, wish her luck!!!

Wow that didn't take long to colonize. My cubes been a month longer and I rarely see any. Though I did have about 30 hermits in there I guess it possible the take em out. Hopefully your Mandy does the job.

Still have the six line?

Holy smokes.

Exactly what kind of pod has invaded? Amphipods of some sort?

ok change in plans....the battle is being lost , the mandy has been eaten by the elegance and is MIA


ive pulled out the big guns no more messing around


enter the yellow corris wrasse, she is now in the cube for 1 week and the harleys are on vacation.

the corris is going right to town i give it 2 days tops, the are running in fear already lol


****ed my elegance ate the mandarin , and now the elegance doesnt look hot either as its not their reg food.

:eek:

How is your elegance holding up? I did not realize they could eat a fish as big as a mandarin. That is really disappointing.

not the best , today i moved it to qt for treatment , will see how it does over the next week or so:)

reefwars 09-24-2012 02:29 PM

yellow corris wrasse.......you are my bonsai god lol


not a pod in sight, they are all hiding in fear.....zoas already look 100x better after one day:)

which brings me to my next thought.


this tank cannot be ran without a pod hunter, the yellow is to large and aggressive to stay long term sooooo


small pod hunters any ideas???
