kraken Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I noticed my shrimps are spawning, any insights how to keep the eggs alive and successfully hatching the shrimps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member surreal1228 Posted July 6, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 6, 2013 Heard it is very hard to keep them alive as the need food and oxygen which only natural ocean can provide. Try to keep many times but all failed in 48 hrs. But all the fish love them like crazy... Quote :superman: :superman: :superman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member starfish123 Posted July 6, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 6, 2013 My cleaner shrimp spawned b4... Very hard to keep. Tried feeding rotifers and bubbling water also no use. Never survive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 So only as fresh fish food? No way to breed them? How abt in ref where pods are in abundance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Nickel Posted July 6, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 6, 2013 Just thinking out loud, does letting the spawning in refrigium with chaeto (moss/algae) help in keeping the shrimp lets alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member vinccc2009 Posted July 25, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 25, 2013 Congrats. But I think using them as fresh food is more economical to rear them. Unless for the fun of it but u need time n equipment n effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzer Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 My peppermint shrimp spawn in my refugium and I could see some very tiny creatures crawling on the LR. Didn't really paid attention to them, guess its all gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why a Refugium is a good place to cultivate live food for ur fishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
