Breeding Berghia

[JVU]

@JVU @SupraSaltyReefer I have a lot of baby brine but don’t want to go overboard. How often can I feed the Aiptasia?

For me, live baby brine shrimp was the key. Emphasis on live. Once the Aiptasia colony was going full density, I fed them VERY heavy, like clouding the water, every 2 days or so.

If you feed non-live food then you will have to feed way less and do a lot of water changes.

Any update on the progress?

Any update on the progress?

Unfortunately, I’ve got a tough update.

Life got busy and I wasn’t able to keep up with water changes and maintenance the way I should have. Even though feeding stayed consistent, the lack of proper upkeep ended up costing me the remaining two nudis.
Both of them didn’t make it.

After the setback, I decided to run it back — but this time doing things the right way and staying on top of maintenance.

I picked up more Berghia and reset the system with a better routine in place.
As of now, I’ve got 7 nudis in the tank, and they’ve been doing amazing. Currently have spiral eggs all over the tank hopefully they hatch in the next few weeks.

We have baby nudis!!!! After a long 5 weeks it finally happened. I had decided to switch methods on how i breed the nudi, I bought from the dollar store x2 Tupperware containers 2 cups size to be exact. I put all the nudi in there and in the other tupperware I transferred the eggs sacks. I sat it on my tank which has an airstone pump going and has some sort of vibration i believe that helps.
I removed the airstone and heater as they dont really need it, my unit stays warm especially since its close to my wall heater.
I was sure that the original tank wasnt growing anything so i switched methods bit later on i decided to check one more time and there they were baby nudis probably about 6 i was able to collect.

Anyways i noticed the next day the egg sack i put in the first container had hatched and there was baby micro nudi i was in disbelief as they are soooooo tiny. Now just need to keep consistent food supply of aptasia and grow these little guys out!

Congrats bro! Keep feeding and more will appear eventually lol. Replace that white towel with a dark colored one so you will be able to see the berghia better.
