interceptor for RedBugs

[Reefinny]

Okay so yup, not if when and I got them. I dip every piece that goes in my tank. So about 6 months ago, I picked up some interceptor so I have it on hand.

Right now they are all over my Oregon Tort and California Tort, so I am getting ready to treat and reading some posts, looks like hermits, crabs and shrimp have to come out.

How do you get them out!!!! Have 2 huge cleaner shrimp I dont want to lose and a few emeralds but no shot on getting them out. whats the easiest way for the shrimp?

So will the interceptor definitely kill the shrimp?

Bottle Trap for shrimp. Starve the tank for a few days. Then put a cube of mysis shrimp in the bottle to get the shrimps. Works very well.

And yes, interceptor will kill shrimps.

Good luck!

These shrimp are huge. What kid of bottle like a cranberry juice bottle? coke bottle won't work. What about the crabs?

Get a 1L coke bottle or a Gatorade bottle with bigger mouth. Crabs are also dead.

Read up on the link between acro eating flatworms and interceptor. Many who have treated with interceptor have seen acro eating flatworms manifest themselves in large numbers after. You may not notice them now but if any slipped through like the red bugs did you will see the effects after treating.

Just a heads up
