Hi, is it possible to keep berried harlequin shrimp in breeding box inside the main tank?

Since the female already carrying lots of eggs, I've move the pair into a 20x10x15cm breeding box with 2 live rock to create a hiding place for them that hang inside the main tank.

I know success rate are very low but I still look forward for that moment to come........

Please advise :thumbsup:

There is an article on the net about breeding harlequin shrimp which maybe you can also take a look. You would need rotifer to feed the baby when it hatch.

The day will come with your patience. Plenty of shrimplets and a Happy foster parent. Good luck......
Thanks bro, getting a small tank to house them in 2 weeks time. Will be running by fan so now slowly adjusting the chiller to 27deg hope they'll be fine after shifting them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
