peppermint shrimp

A few days ago there was a polyp missing from my hologram hammer. I suspected it may be the peppermint shrimp and not a polyp bailout because it's been thriving and tank params are great. Sure enough this morning I caught the little devil perched on the skeleton eating the other polyp. I'm...

Hello, I have two peppermint shrimp and I believe one of them is pregnant and I’m just looking for anything I might need to know or really anything I should know about the shrimp. It looks like the eggs are fertile, but I’m not 100% sure so I’m just looking for some insight or anything you guys...

I think peppermint shrimp can be very useful in your arsenal against the dreaded aptaisa (and several other anemones for better or worse). I also think not enough people are engaging them in a way this is productive for your aquarium. I will say like several inverts whether it be snails...

Hello hello First post here and just wanted to share the odd tank friends that’s have developed in my tank. My trigger and puffer share shrimp when being hand fed. My puffer fish hangs out and sleeps on top of the hermit crabs. The trigger protects all the snails and even hangs out with a...

I've heard 1 peppermint per 10 gallons is a rule people follow, but why is that the rule? Is that what's most efficient for aiptasia control? Will adding more cause aggression? Will more shrimp pose a much more serious risk to corals? I've heard they can be aggressive if there's too many but...

Hey guys and gals! So I got this Duncan coral over the weekend and he has been doing well. I have peppermint shrimp where one really does mess with the corals. I am not sure if he is eating between or eating them (I’ll post a video of an example of him messing with my candy cane) I noticed today...

Hello ! I got a tiny question for the people who got rid of their aiptasia, i tried as of today a few things i tried in the beginning aiptasia X but since it burned a few of my sunburst zoa polyps i tried to go away from the chems ... so my next idea was peppermint shrimp kuekenthali lil bugger...

Trying to gauge if I should take a FB marketplace offer. A guy is tearing down his long time tank due to lack of time to maintain. He is getting rid of 6 shrimp in all split between peppermints and fire cleaner shrimp for a solid price. I have a well established 90 gallon with a pretty decent...

Everywhere i look has a different answer on this. I’ve had mine for a couple months now and all has been well, but last week i noticed a couple polyps from my frogspawn floating around the water column which i found odd as my frogspawn was thriving, and one of them landed behind a rock and is...

LFS has a Pygmy Rooster Waspfish that I am very interested in, but also may be pursuing using Nudis to rid some aiptasia. I know the berghias are nocturnal so I am not sure if they will be dodging the waspfish or not. If not, are large peppermint shrimp doomed as well?

I have a 90 gallon reef with large softies and a good deal of RBTAs that I love. Only fish that are a concern for the topic in the tank are a 3-4" Melanurus Wrasse and Squareback Anthia. Need help on choosing between the three below natural options. (Copperband is interesting but so many horror...

so the peppermint shrimp in my sisters tank haven’t gone for the bottle trap yet, but the snails she has decided they would. She thought about making the entrance smaller, but the shrimp are huge! There’s snails smaller than the shrimp! The bottle trap in sitting on the sand, so would it be...

Hey folks, I added a maxima clam to my tank a week ago. Got it from a local hobbyist for a bargain. Unfortunately it has came with hitch hikers. Aiptasia. I’ve been reading up on it, and don’t know which route to take. I’ve thought about a file fish, but have heard of them picking at sps? And...

What's your favorite natural aiptasia eradication method?! I had one peppermint shrimp in a 75 gallon that disappeared and shortly after the aiptasia started to reappear. I'm thinking of trying a Copperband but have heard too many unsuccessful stories And I don't find the filefish to be the...

Too long; didn't read: I lost both a peppermint shrimp and a fire shrimp after using hydrogen peroxide spot treatment to get rid of a bad dinoflagellate outbreak in separate incidents. Both died during the night after treatment. Others have reported similar incidents. Don't use hydrogen peroxide...

Thought I’d share my POV of the circle of life! Live peppermint shrimp getting eaten whole by my RFA. Never have I seen this, anybody?

I have a pretty bad aiptasia infestation in my 90 gallon display tank. I first tried aiptasia x, but i overdid the amount at once spiked the Ph and irritated my coral. I tried again using a smaller amount, but the Ph spike still took out my big birdsnest coral. I have on two occasions added...

Today I introduced a small rose BTA into it. Everything seemed fine during acclimation, and I carefully placed it on the rock. But, to my surprise, my peppermint shrimp started to bother it right away. I initially thought the shrimp was just being curious, but then I noticed textures of the BTA...

So I let my 65 Gallon Reef go... aiptasia took over and killed nearly all my coral except some GSP. But my fish are doing well and tonight I began rehabilitating my reef. I started with cleaning everything spot clean -my sump, skimmer, glass...etc. I got a large rubbermaid garbage can on...

Hey everyone My tank is coming up to 4 weeks old now and these rogue anemones have popped up! The guy in the lfs said they are ball anemones and to remove them with tweezers but I’m scared they’ll multiply and cause more issues! I wasn’t worried about them but I plan on adding sexy shrimp and...

Hey guys, got a peppermint shrimp today and my royal gramma started picking at it like crazy. It found a place in the rocks where the gramma won’t reach it though. Is it gonna be like this long term? I used to have a smaller one but he disappeared one day. Could the gramma have actually eaten...

So I got 3 Berghia Nudiabranchs about an month ago and I put them into my tank to deal with Aiptasia and the Aiptasia amount has not been decreasing and I have not seen my Berghia Nudiabranchs since I added them. What do I do because I really need the Aiptasia gone but everything I have tried...

Has any one had issue with peppermints attacking rock flowers? I figure that like any scavenger it’s sometimes just trying to steal food off the surface of the nem. But I’ve lost five rock flowers in the past few months when they pick so much the nems release their foot and the peppermints...
