Goodbye Aptasia

I love the new CBBF. In the tank for one week and already cleaning up the tank
It now eats mysis, squid, aptasia and probably other critters also as it is picking around the tank at all times.
Here it is nibblin at something.
It absolutely destroys the large aptasia also, not just the small ones.
It's nice to NOT have to manually remove aptasia every few weeks, this is a GREAT fish !!!!

Send a message via AIM to hcp28
Are you going to start importing apitsia to keep it happy? You could start your own apitsia farm and everything!

Thanks Gene, yeah , so far so good .And the purple tang has finally settled his ars down, man he was driving me nuts with his huffing and puffing and pacing around.


Hcp28, right , I kinda wish I had more aptasia for the little feller There are just a couple left in some tight spaces but I'm sure they won't be around long.
Thanks !!!!!

Mark,

Let me just say that I was amaized at the proficiency of my little CB. My tank was covered with that pesty anemones and in a 3-4 weeks I couldn't find any
Here's mine on the job couple of month ago...

Gene, thanks for the pic. How long have you had your CB?
2 1/2 weeks and going strong. Only 3 aptasia that I can see but they are in a tight nook and cranny where Mr Fly hasn't ventured yet.
My FISH is eating very well

Hi Mark,

I have mine since November I believe. I still have some Aips but it's in the overflows and I'm too lazy to go after them,none in the tank though.The killer did his part.
Glad your fish is going strong,especially after what he's been through.Oh yea,don't worry about the nooks and crannys,it will get them regardless.he's not sporting that long shnazola for good looks alone
