hi guys,

found out that the underside of my female cleaner shrimp has eggs yesterday. The male is just beside, swaying as usual. The female is rather still.

Would like to ask, is there any advice on breeding the little shrimps? are there any chances of survival?

thanks

They can eat newly hatched Artemia nauplii straightaway. That's what most people feed them in the beginning although I'm doing some work on microalgae to see if it improves their survival. You'll get reasonable survival of around 70-80% or maybe more during the first week. Around week 2 you'll get a mass mortality around 50% or maybe more depending on your husbandry. Around week 2 onwards they will take minced prawn or squid..watch your water quality though. Keep artemia densities between 2-5 artemia/mL. It will take around 1.5 months or more for them to settle. During this time survival will drop slowly so be prepared.

Anyway, both shrimp will produce eggs as they will alternate sexual roles. Normally the molt and spawning interval is about 2 weeks.

Always something more important than fish.

thanks for the great information bro :)
