Hello all, I'm after your advise on scuds, (small Amphipods)
they are like the cockroaches of the aquarium world, I swear these guys could survive an atomic blast!
I knowingly added them to my aquarium as a kind of clean up crew for amongst my HC Cuba, I kind of say they work but boy do they breed!
I'm upgrading my tank from a 35 cube to a 40 (not much I know, but it fits my stand better)
But I have a chance of just starting fresh, I didn't want to reintroduce them into my new Scape because I may want to sell plants out of it at some point.
The only issue is I'm holding alot of buces in this tank ready for the new Scape, which inadvertently will have scuds on them.
What's the best way to eradicate them off the plants before the swap over, maybe a solution or something?
I was thinking maybe moving the livestock into a holding tank, then nuking the Scape with co2 over a week, hopefully plants will be fine but the scuds would perish?
What do you guys think?
-cheers, Ash
