Breeding Clownfish, and Peps?
I have 2 Clownfish I want to breed, but I also have 3 Peppermint Shrimp. I am assuming if I want successful fry to happen I need to get rid of the Shrimp. Is this correct?

I would guess that the shrimp would eat any eggs.
I've had the same clown pair since 2002 and they've never laid eggs that I've ever seen. Good luck! |

They are not the only fish. I rescued a Pygmy Angel in 2005 that was the lone survivor of a pet shop that left their fresh water top-off system on overnight by accident. It was a manual system. Someone forgot to turn it off and by morning their saltwater was almost all freshwater. One fish survived. A Pygmy Angel. I was there when they opened. I took the fish home and began to slowly acclimate him back to saltwater - fully expecting him to succumb. He made it and is 10 years old now.

Yes you would need to get rid of the shrimp. As said above, they will eat the eggs.
