Hi,

I wanna ask more experienced ppl out thr on how to keep my cleaner shrimp healthy. Basically I initiated hyposalinity treatment on my other fishes due to ich and they are kept in another tank. Questions I have are:

1) Do I need to drop some food into my display tank for the cleaner shrimp or will it scavenge 'old' food left over since I removed the fish?

2) What are the chances of the shrimp living in an environment void of fishes for say 4-6 weeks? (Typical hypo treatment duration)

It will scavenge left over food. But if there's no longer left over food, say, you no longer feed food into that tank, then put in some pellets for the cleaner shrimp to feast.

2) What are the chances of the shrimp living in an environment void of fishes for say 4-6 weeks? (Typical hypo treatment duration)

As above, throw some food in. pellet/frozen food etc each day. Best to feed it before its being starved.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
