Aiptasia Eating Berghia Nudibranches

[starrfish]

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I received a PM from the guy who breeds these nudibranches over on RC - he finally has some available. I got on his list a LONG time ago, but have since gotten a CBB who has eaten every aiptasia in my tank. But I told the guy I would let everyone know that he now has some available. Here's a link to the thread on RC:

Daire,

A few folks ordered some here a few weeks back, at least I think they went though with the order. I'm hoping someone can get them breeding locally.

Oh good. The guy was nice enough to PM after all this time, so I figured I'd "throw him a bone" and mention it here.

what do they eat when the aspias are gone?

 

[littlep93056]

I posted it a while back to see if anybody wanted to go in on some

Does anybody ??

 

[jebar777]

ya, am i correct in thinking they are $8 each?

 

[littlep93056]

no there $15.00 each plus shipping

I just email the guy to see if we can get a group buy price

 

[jebar777]

oh i thought i saw 8 on the rc posts?

 

[littlep93056]

They were awhile back but there $15 now

 

[jebar777]

gotta love inflation...any chance the group buy will get us a better price or just better shipping?

 

[littlep93056]

Waiting to hear back from him

 

[jebar777]

will they eat algae like other nudi's or are they dependant on aspias

 

[littlep93056]

Aiptasia only

 

[buddie]

nudi

add me in for 3 please if you can get the group buy

The Berghia Nudibranches will starve and die once the aiptasia is gone.

Is anyone considering culturing some aiptasia to feed them with? Or, maybe the Berghia could be shared within the club so at least they have a fighting chance to live their natural lifespan?

 

[littlep93056]

Well I'm getting 4 or maybe 6 & when they have done thier job I will post them for sale for what I paid

 

[Valexia]
