Calgary Invert Order

I have had two different sleeper/watchman gobies pair up with my pistol, maybe I am just lucky I dunno!

I would like to get in on this order as well please!

I am in for a peppermint (are they true peppermints?) Perhaps a pistol shrimp, and some snails.

Steve, I can only imagine it's a matter of time before they pair up. It's bound to happen... I'd really like one for my YWG, but I dunno how noisy these guys are, my tanks in my room!

I'll edit my post sometime soon with the exact numbers. But i'd be itnerested to know if these peppermints are the "true" kind.

The last batch of shrimp I got from Howdy were wurdemanni but I coulnd't really tell for for sure until thier colour came back after bringing them home.

Did they eat any aptasia for you? I have a small aptasia problem and am *hoping* that he takes care of it for me.

And the wurdemanni ARE the aiptasia eating ones.

But they will still only eat it as a last resort, so you would likely need a lot of them to make a dent on aiptasia, enough that food is scarce enough for them to eat the aiptasia.

Do you think I should order 2 just to be safe??

I guess all's I can do is hope and pray that they'll take a liking to it.. I don't have a bad aptasia problem , just a few I can't reach to nuke them. They're all small (right now) as well.

You would probably be better off with the nudis. I don't think it's easy to keep perpermints hungry enough to eat aptasia in a reef tank.
