Cleaner Shrimp has eggs

shookbrad · 06/05/2006, 09:24 PM

Sunday I noticed that my cleaner shrimp has a few hundred eggs in her belly. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make sure the eggs hatch and keep the baby cleaner shrimp alive? Currently I have no fish in my tank. I removed all of them for about 45 days to allow ICK to die off in the tank. Anyway, suggestions??

If you do some research, you'll find an article about some one who raised peppermint shrimp.

So far, no one has reliably raised skunk cleaner shrimp in captivity. Most people think, it will be eventually figured out. Perhaps it will be you.

Best of luck,

Roy
