Coral Banded Shrimp

[Iggy]

Hi my CBS gave birth to a couple hundred little ones late last night, most were served up as appetizers, but I did scoop up a few and toss them into my QT tank. Is there any chance they will survive? And if so, what should I feed them???


Thnxs In advance

I've never had any marine fish or invertabrates give birth in my tank but had several freshwater fish that did. I use to keep some baby fish food on hand. It was really the same ingrediants as regular fishfood but much finer granular size. I would use small amounts of the finer granular mixtures used for corals and crustacians.
One that comes to mind is cyclopeze available in dried or frozen at most marine LFS. I also have GP Reef & Larval Fish Diet which is 5-50 micron size and it's texture is more like powder. All the fish come out to feast, and all the corals and invertabrates are able to catch the smaller particles.

I'm not entirely sure there's been that many people successfull at raising them, you could try project dibs. It's proabably THE place right now for invert breeders.
