Just an update for you Marvin

I am now officially aptasia free. Those peppermints did the trick for me. It took about a week, but every morning there would be a couple of aptasia less and now i cant see any. Not that i was inundated with them to start with. But they few i had are gone none the less. And on top of that my wrasses left them alone also.

Hey Marv i just added 4 peps to my tank for the exact same issue. They have already eaten some of the aptasia, so i am all for them. My wrasses dont mess with them either. Try and get the largest ones you can just to make sure they dont get messed with.

yikes.. yeah, I added three a couple of days ago and two of them were a little small so I think I just gave my wrasses a $7 snack... off to another LFS where I've seen them a little bigger... LoLz...

I think if I get 2 good size pepps, they should do a good job on keeping the LE aptaisia's under control... wish me luck...

good to hear about the success on your pepps, Marcel.. :)

i have had success using them, but you need a large group, id say 4 or more, and put them into the tank at night so that fish won't bother them, if they are hungry enough they may take out all the ap's in that first night
