Hi Everyone. I feel like I have an Amphipod outbreak. They’re literally everywhere and there are some really large ones. I feel like eventually they’re going to run out of food because of their population. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do? I feel like they need to be some fishes prey, but don’t want to wipe them out. I want balance, not extermination. Thanks in advance for any advice. I’d love to hear if someone has a good story about this topic.

Overall hawkfish are good, I would go with a long nose because their longer beak means they can reach into smaller places, dragonets and scooter blennies are another good shout

I like the dragonet idea. I think they are too small to make too much of a dent in my population. Thanks for the suggestions.

Try adding a cleaner wrasse or a small hawkfish they usually keep amphipods in check without overdoing it

Peacock wrasses are good they will most likely keep the population under control
