Ok I have lots of them and i am getting sick or Joe's Juicing them...
I bought 3 peppermint shrimps and they died.. (don’t think I acclimated them good enough)

What I want to know What is the best type of animal that eats them...

My LFS has a slug that is $35 and is supposed to eat them. (cannot remember the name of the slug but i will call them and find out)

I know some fish also eat them... I also know peppermint shrimp are supposed to eat them... What is the best and easiest Aiptasia killer to keep...

:help:
 
i dont think there are any methods that are set down as "the best"..its what works best given a certain tank...For some, Joe's Juice, kalc past or boiling water, some prefer True peppermint shrimps, others prefer a copperband...

he he he he...i brought a true peppermint and i think he is scared shi*tless of em, wont go anywhere near em...i always resort to boiling water...

I know i know, i have a nerd of a peppermint who must think he is a speamint or something....

How well does the boiling water work? Do you just get some in its mounth and it dies?
 
works very well...i use a pipette or a syringe, slowly move it towards the mouth and then blast it, if you miss, just wait a day or two for it to come back out, then have another go...

They just melt when you get it right....

Will the plastic syringe that comes with the joe's juice work with boiling water or should I buy a glass one or something?
