How many berghia Nudis should I get?

[G_Lows]

I have a pretty bad aptasia infestation. Tank is a 31 gallon AIO. I have a local guy that sells berghia nudis, he says he has medium sized ones available. I was thinking of getting 2, but he recommended 4. Thoughts on how many I should get? I've never used them before so I have no idea. Thanks is advance!

I think 4, they hunt in a pack.

Berghias are great. Wiped out my aiptasia. Id say 4 med they reproduce in tank just follow the acclimation directions and place the container they are in in the tank against a rock. They will find their way out. At first u won’t see much but over time. Few months for me xl300 system and they were all gone. Good luck

I’d go 4

4 medium will reproduce and clean out a 30 gal in no time

probably 2 months

Make sure you have no Wrasses or shrimp

I house a Melanarus wrasse and a blood shrimp. No issues. Just add them at night they will leave the container and go into the rock. They are active at night. So I should b ok. Also when they are done w the aiptasia u will see them out during the day. Collect them and pass them on or else they will die off

I’ve had six lines and lineatus wipe out Berghia

I hear peppermints will
Do the same

4, placed together to start.
That way they will start to breed right away.

Get 4 to be sure of a breeding population.
