Don’t you care that aiptasia is a living thing? You’re so cruel!
Anyone breeding Berghia?
- Thread starter JVU
- Start date
The adults are each laying egg strands every day- They are actually quite delicate and pretty close up:
A couple juveniles from the first gen of eggs laid a few weeks ago have grown to a couple mm length now:
The second larger wave of eggs laid have recently hatched and now I have hundreds of barely visible babies, fraction of a mm (they are the tiny white linear specks with tiny smaller diameter tails):
Dozens of egg spirals still not hatched yet...

Only the true kind thoughWell, if you’re gonna breed them, should learn some facts about them, no?

No worries. Maybe I can find a few stragglers in my old DT at night and start another culture. I'm starting a new system and looking to get ahead of the aiptasia this time. The 4 aiptasia eating filefish in there don't seem very interested in the aiptasias for the moment!
I became very good at breeding the nudis but they never worked effectively in my DT. Too much flow and too much aiptasia. The nudibranchs cleared out certain areas but it reached an equilibrium where the aiptasias were eating the nudibranchs faster than the nudibranchs were eating the aiptasia due to the high flow rates and high concentration of aiptasias. I think the nudibranchs could be effective in high flow as long as the concentration of aiptasias are low enough. And I know how effective they are in low flow rates.

You have decoded my naming scheme.
