Stupid aptasia

[saltwaterseahorses]

Thxss soooooooooooooo much also i have joesjuice and it says it controls aiptasia and majano! It looks like a cream, also i finaally frigin see my aptasia i should torture it once i get it!!! Joking i wouldnt do that i will just flush it

[Milad]

from my research (which is limited) mechincally removing aptasia (e.g. with a tweezers) is bad idea. It replicated. Slap some lemon juice in a syringe and kill the bugger.

oops i already flushed it also it was living in the sand i dont think it will spread now and i have the stuff called joe'sjuice and it kills majano and aiptasia so couldnt i just put that in? its like a cream!

Joe's Juice works fine (I think it's just kalk paste so you could also make your own) for the visible ones. I would consider a couple of peppermint shrimp for your tank. They will eat all the one you can't see. I had a big problem when I first started and was using Joe's Juice for months but they kept coming back. After I put the shrimp in I haven't seen an aiptasia in 2 years.

I like joes juice but rather then using the crappy syregine that comes with it I use a needle and I find it works alot better!

[saltwaterseahorses]

[Milad]

if you are looking for syregines ive seen a bunch in DT by the dumpsters. probably could use one of those...

I have one single peppermint shrimp with my seahorse. Has never bothered her. I have the shrimp in there to take care of any aptasia that may pop up. In my opinion aptasia will do more harm than a peppermint shrimp. What are you going to be running for a system for your seahorse tank? As in for tank size and height? Are you going to be able to meet their needs for them to survive more than a couple of months?

hey, and I have been researching for round 2 years on seahorse and it turns out i I have a great chance on having them survive so yah. But I'm getting Barbouri seahorse since there easier to breed but I have a 35 gallon, with live rock, and scooter blenny, By The Way everyone APTASIA IS GONE!!!! But yah at the end of May I will be getting some barbs but other then that its al good, also my tank is 2.1/5 feet tall and its around 3 feet in length and 2 feet in width, and i have candy cane coral, montipora digi coral,some zoas including, death purple, watermelon, stony grey, green, and some others, I also have a toadstool mushroom, and a Yellow Finger Leather, and a devils hand coral, and xenia, and I'm soon getting either a gorgonian or a dendro coral!
