G'day!
When i first spotted these critters in my tank, there were 3 at the most - now there are like a hundred! They do a good job muching at the green stuff but they are starting to be everywhere all the time. Its kinda unsightly.
I'd like a method of controlling them, yet not wiping them out completely. Any ideas?
I already have 3 hermits, but they dont seem to care! _________ You will never know whats in my tank as i can only type 15 words  |

they will eventually decrease.i'd just leave them be.you cannot buy them anywhere so i suppose you may find a market but most people with lr or caulerpa which they lay eggs in , in their tank have them anyway.

Thanks - I'll try to scoop a few out and give them to friends, I have a freind that has a predatory tank, so maybe his puffers and triggers would like them. | |
