Joes Juice, Joes Juice. stuff works wonders and its only $10 for a small bottle that would last a pretty long time.

I just used it on my manjos in my tank an they disappeared as sone as i put it on them.

Will joes juice hurt a freather duster?

 

[rbrockm1]

didn't bother mine at all.

Will peppermint shrimp take care of it?

No go on the boiling water here either--tried it last week with no luck. And by CBB won't touch it either. Looks like I'm going for the juice!

Peppermint shrimp love em. I know at least two lfs that keep them in different tanks just to keep their lr clear of them, and that way no chemicals, just cool looking shrimp.

pepp shrimp did it for me

definatley peppermint shrimp and red legged hermit crabs - worked a total treat for me. Just bear in mind that whatever you end up buying livestock wise will take a couple of days to settle into your tank so don't be disheartened if you don't find them gone yet the morning after you put them in. Mine took about a week and then all the aiptasia dissapeared over night. All the best
