Ok, so everyone who was picking up has picked up, hope they work well for you guys!

*edit* everyone but Josh, where are ya?

Neal & Psyire I am going to hold yours in ziploc bags in my fuge until you can get them. I don't want to acclimate yours with mine in case it goes bad, and it isn't needed, I will do a small 10% water change in the ziplocs every day though.

Neal I will message you a time when I will be home tommorow night, probably 9:30 - 10:00 pm or so. *edit* Josh you will have to come at this time as well

Psyire I will hold them as long as you need, I will feed them some small or cut up aiptasia. Hopefully your sister can come to my work on Monday and pick them up for you, I will put them in the styro container they shipped in for you.

Awesome, thanks Rory. I appreciate it.

Anyone have any observations they would like to reflect on? Are these things truly Aptasia bane?

TheReefGeek · #3 07-21-2006, 02:50 PM

Indeed they are. I fed all the nudis last night, mine were in a small container I dropped a couple aiptasia in there for them, they were gone within 10 minutes.

The aiptasia I dropped in the ziploc bags were gone this morning too.

I have to find a good way to snag aiptasia off the rocks for feeding though, its tricky!

And salty underground was an excellent vendor, I would not hesitate to order again if need be.

You may be able to get an aptasia to release easier by squirting the base of it with vinegar.

Psyire, what are the plans for pickup on Monday? Is your system going to be able to meet me at my work in the morning? I work at 3620 93st

Psyire all your bhergia are still doing well, but Joshua was unable to pick his up, and some of his look like they are dieing and some look already dead. Same ziplocs, same water, same feeding, same small water changes hanging side-by-side, I don't know how to explain it! I have transferred them into a larger container that is floating in a temperature controlled tank now, and fed all the nudis again. I have found that they produce a lot of waste, I have been trying to suck up all the leftover crap out of the bags when I do the small water change with a turkey baster.

If none of his make it I will give him 2 of mine so he can breed a larger population for himself at least.

I just wish he picked up thursday night, because now I feel terrible!
