Question about this: How besides emerald crabs can you get rid of this? I get emerald crabs, they die undetected and nothing changes. Words of wisdom?

Vibrant at dirty tank dose twice a week....

I did Vibrant and crabs so not sure which one did the trick. And yeah, emeralds don't seem to last that long in my systems. I have to add them every six months. My LFS says they will kill each other off until there is a single dominant.

Wow-I had no idea about them. I won't get any more. I hate to kill...

Thanks!!
