prob what they call a TRUE peppermint. the kind that will actually eat apataisia.
if they are getting fed fine they will not touch the aptasia. its like someone bringing you food everyday... why would you go out and look for food if it is getting delivered lol.
I thought I saw a hump on its back, but after closer inspection, the peppermint checks out good! I double checked it against the californica variety, and checks out safe there too!
My experience with peppermint shrimp has been they do not eat full sized aptasia but they gorge on the babies. Shoot them with kalk. The peps clean them up. I always had best luck when I had at least three shrimp in the tank. That might be too many for your nano though.
I hope you like the pink one that I sent with your papaya one. ;]
The pink one is nicer than the papaya one I ordered! Thanks!
I just counted...I'm up to 8 maxi minis! If you get any clones of the ones you posted as your favorites earlier in this thread, let me know. You are officially my go to source for maxi minis.
I can't believe that's a 29g-looks so much bigger. Wonderful tank Jim

Thanks...Being only about 20-inches across, and even less front to back, it does look neat. I think the shelves and pillars from The Alternative Reef helped a lot with being able to create a rockscape with more depth.
Great picture Jim! I love seeing people's pictures that are so great with a "nonSLR" camera. I have an elcheapo point and shoot and every once and a while I do get some great shots. I love those little mini star fish and so do my kids, I love how the small simple things seem to impress them the most.
