Joe's Juice not working! Peppermint Shrimp ?

[Klewis]

I have a 120gallon that started with a few aptaisa's, I was diligent with the Joe's Juice and I tried injecting them with lemon juice with no success. The aptaisa would shrivel and look like they were dying then they would come back with a vengence and spread through out the tank. I have been thinking of trying peppermint shrimp.
The tank already has one Coral Banded Shrimp, One Scarlet cleaner shrimp and one Fire shimp, would adding peppermint shimp be a problem??? Does any one know of a LFS that has peppermint shimp in stock?

I think Pet's Warehouse in Copiague has some. Give them a call first!

use kalkwasser and ro water, they will practically eat it out of the syringe. dont know why but it works. make it pasty less water more wasser

pure lye works best

lots of instructions on the web, i did this never had a problem again, MUST be pure lye, lowes sells robics(?) works great and a $10 bottle of lye will be passed down to your grandkids

aptaisax works great for me

copperband butterfly works but you have to get one that will take frozen food also otherwise it will die after it eats the aiptasia

i tried most if not all of those things, the Peppermint worked for me. just get 3 or more that will do the trick.

Thanks for the input. I just picked up 3 peppermint shrimps from pets warehouse. Lets hope for the best. My concern was the other shrimp in the tank attacking the peppermint shrimp. I didn't want to add a fish that might eat coral too.

the peppermints will probably work, but i would bet the CBS will kill them eventually...
