    Default cleaner shrimp breeding

    Back in Feb. I had gotten a surprise from my pair of cleaner shrimp....There was about 1000 plus babies swirling around in my tank. none survived to my disappointment. What should i look for so I can better prepare for their arrival and possible rearing.

    Nada... you need a separate system. Bare bottom w/ a semi porous grid to allow the larva to fall to the bottom away from the parents and lots of rotifers, etc to feed.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

    EASY!!! Just look for the big glob of greenish colored eggs under her tail. Gotta still keep the pair together so that when she releases, the mail can release the sperm to finish the fertilization process.

    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.
