Notice my sun coral and prata extender their tentacles almost 1 inch long. too bad don't have a digital camera ready. Anyone, had sucessfully keep and grow theses babies? Were they survive in my sump tank with full of algae and some LR? :bow:

Your corals extended their polyps because they tried to eat ya little babies. :blink:

You can try keeping them in your sump tank and dosing phytoplankton everyday. If they do pull through you can message me. I would love to buy some! :P

I like things that are small. :D

Always something more important than fish.

Hi Fuel,

The phytoplankton are you referring to those green colors where water circle sell? If yes, just added about 10 mL. If 50% can survive, no problem giving you some. :lol:

hmm that would be 500000 baby shrimps. not bad not bad.. profitable :)

fuel : :blink:

Hey hey hey...

Not for feeding OK. If they can survive through the stage, I don't mine given away. I am sure their parent are happy to see them grow, but no feeding please. Maybe two months later, contacting you guys for self collection. :D

Hey Fuel,

How long you been keeping pipefish? What you use to feed them? :off:

Yah man...i've also been having my 2 cleaner shrimps giving birth every few weeks when the nights are out...really a sight man. u see them scuttling their legs and out comes the babies...have been thinking of culturing them and selling too..haha...imagine if i can keep just 20% alive and upon them reaching adulthood, i'll be reach man!!! can support this hobby. but too much f a hassle also...gotta monitor when they give birth and separate them etc...argh. good food for my corals anyway...but the funny thing is i've got only 2 cleaner shrimps. so how do both get pregnant at the same time??
