Anyone else think red bugs look REALLY similar to regular fleas on mammals ?
As far as body shape and their legs / appendages
Sps fleas !
What size tank and how much Dr G's if you dont mind sharing?I just dealt with red bugs. Not to big of a deal but what some one said the AEFW may appear and I have seen others say the same. The next day I seen a AEFE when I've never seen one before.
I have a LOT of interceptor and spectrum pills PM me.
NOW I did NOT use the pills I used DR gs coral dip treatment. I Dosed the entire tank. Not one red bug left and not one snail or crab dead. All the sps looked so good and I have not done another treatment yet. It's been 4 weeks now.
Any updates on the situation?

Thanks man.I did 4 caps for my 120. Most people I spoke to did 1 cap for 20 gallons. 4 worked for me but I was little scared to do more.
Good news! Sounds like your turning the corner.
I wiped out my pod population. Amphipods and copepods and have been reseeding them again. I found these amphipods for 9bucks a bottle at
(The coral reef tn) i purchased 2
Not to freak you out further but be on the lookout for AEFW once all the red bugs are gone. It's very common to rid the tank of red bugs then have AEFW take over.
Incredible video and thank you for sharing what was your bad luck with us in an attempt to educate others. I'm surprised no one mentioned that red bugs are a natural food source for Springeri Damsels. I read someone mentioned pipefish and that's true as well. In the future for anyone interested they are a non aggressive species of damsels and I have one and it bothers nothing, not territorial and it's in a 60 cube. You can house multiples. O2manyfish keeps about 8-9 in his outdoor frag tank with no issues and they're beautiful fish. I keep mine as a preventive measure if I ever brought it in my tank by accident.
