Should I even bother trying out peppermint shrimp

[axe_man16]

Make sure you are getting the right type of peppermint shrimp. They should have red stripes and a red tail. Sometimes stores have them labeled as peppermint shrimp and they are not ones that will eat aiptasia. Just make sure not to overfeed untill your aiptasia is gone, as the shrimp will eat the left over food instead of the aiptasia.

But even though you do everything right to incourage them to eat aiptasia they still might not, I got lucky I guess with mine, they love the stuff.
