need some advise

[bazza1979]

hi my tanks is starting to become over run with aiptasia .... i have read that a copperband butterfly fish and peppermints shrimps eat them i dont want to use chemicals .... just i really dont like them and i dont have any other fish in tank that would fight with the copperband but i have 2 blood shrimps and belive they will probably kill the peppermint shrimps and advice would be great ????....

Aiptasia X is by far the best way to remove them. Also, with the peps amd fish there is no promise that they will actually eat them and at best they would only help control the problem, not fix it.

the copperbands dont live long in small tanks and IMOa 50g is too small for one and its a hit or miss with peppermint shrimp,aiptasia x is the way to go

I don't see why Peppermint and Fire shrimp wouldn't co-exist. I have peppermints, skunk cleaners, and fire shrimp in my tank. They're aware of each other and I haven't seen any issues (other than my Melanurus wrasse trying to snack on the peppermints)
