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?

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

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???
