I could be wrong but....

[oonycxwilloo]

I could of swore i saw hundreds, and i'm talking about hundreds of little, close to microscopic little shrimps swimming around and my hippo tang and my royal grammar was chasing them and eating it...I have a mated pair of cleaners shrimps, and 2 fire shrimps but they dont get along...


My cleaners always carries eggs on them...So my guess is that they released the new batch? One of the cleaners has eggs but they are roundish and you can see through it..the other one has eggs with a black dot in the middle...i guess the one with the dot is the one carrying the fertilized eggs...i have read somewhere about breeding these cleaners...and result was close to impossible...

Any one for future reference....know what is small enough to feed these little guys if i can quarantine the 2 cleaners while they carry fertilized eggs?

There is was thread on Reefcentral about a breeder somwhere in Europe. there where pictures and descriptions of his tanks. You would need a specific full time set up to breed the shrimp. It is possiable, but not in the confines of our display tanks.
