Cleaner Shrimp

Power Blue · August 29, 2003

Just discovered million of babies CS all over my 3 fts tank in the dark. Sucessfully relocate almost 90% to my sump tank. Just wondering were these babies survive? Notice my sun coral and prata extender their tentacles almost 1 inch long. too bad don't have a digital camera ready. Anyone, had sucessfully keep and grow theses babies? Were they survive in my sump tank with full of algae and some LR? :bow:

Your corals extended their polyps because they tried to eat ya little babies. :blink:

You can try keeping them in your sump tank and dosing phytoplankton everyday. If they do pull through you can message me. I would love to buy some!

I like things that are small.

Hi Fuel,

The phytoplankton are you referring to those green colors where water circle sell? If yes, just added about 10 mL. If 50% can survive, no problem giving you some. :lol:

Hi Power Blue,

would like to have a couple and dun mind buying if you intend to sell (provided not too ex )

however, would only need them in a month or 2 as tank still in cycling stage

:rolleyes:

FuEl · August 29, 2003

Just hope they do survive. Shrimp larvae are actually zooplankton.

Zooplankton would eat other zooplankton or phytoplankton?

Oh well..hope the phytoplankton works.

He said some lah..maybe 1-2? LoL...

I don't mind keeping some ultra small shrimps in my tank...as long as my pipefish can't eat them.. :blink:

SpiderOne · August 29, 2003

your pipefish will. and probably every other living thing in your tank will too accidental or otherwise

FuEl · August 29, 2003

HeH..then someone might have to raise them till they are larger than mysis shrimp? I don't mind buying at that size..kinda cute.. :rolleyes:

Power Blue · August 30, 2003

Hey hey hey...

Not for feeding OK. If they can survive through the stage, I don't mine given away. I am sure their parent are happy to see them grow, but no feeding please. Maybe two months later, contacting you guys for self collection.

Hey Fuel,

How long you been keeping pipefish? What you use to feed them? :off:

Wow you can do some business man by selling shrimp to support this expenisve hobby :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mellow · August 30, 2003

Yah man...i've also been having my 2 cleaner shrimps giving birth every few weeks when the nights are out...really a sight man. u see them scuttling their legs and out comes the babies...have been thinking of culturing them and selling too..haha...imagine if i can keep just 20% alive and upon them reaching adulthood, i'll be reach man!!! can support this hobby. but too much f a hassle also...gotta monitor when they give birth and separate them etc...argh. good food for my corals anyway...but the funny thing is i've got only 2 cleaner shrimps. so how do both get pregnant at the same time??

SpiderOne · August 30, 2003

mine give birth all the time but im not there to see it. currently pregnant. waiting for the next birth. dunno whats going to eat it . my tank is a zen tank and as such severely understocked

Theres no need to ###### them,just buy any 2.they are hermaphroditic meaning "ah gua"

both can produce eggs and sperm.they usually spawn after molting.

Hecter · August 30, 2003
