Well, lot's of fun.
What in blazes do I do now?
I have to admit, the thought of adding shrimp to the menu (I'm striving to breed Maroons) is awfully appetizing.
I would imagine that I would have to move them, or at least her, out of the main display tank before they are laid to facilitate the raising of larvae.
I've never ran across this situation, so I'm a little anxious to say the least.
Where would I find more information, preferably in a textbook form or a reference manual, before I spend eight days going through posts @ the Breeders registry.
Any and all help in this matter would be greatly appreciated and IF there is any success perhaps a freebie or two :)

I'm really not sure if there is much info pertaining to the captive raising of cleaner shrimp. All three of mine are carrying eggs nearly ALL the time...and I have tons of baby shrimp running around in my sumps and in the corners and crevices of my liverock. Some are starting to get fairly big (3/4 of a cm) now - but I haven't had any of them (that I know of) get any larger then that.

I'm sure that the fishies are enjoying the live food from time to time too.

I'll see if I can find any info on this for ya though...

Cheers & Congrat's Buddy... :D

Thanks bud,
I ran across a refersnce to a book written on raising peppermints on RC, but I'll be damned if I could find it again.
I posted there as well, I'm sure Dr. Marini might know of something?
