For the last month or so I've noticed baby peppermint shrimp of all sizes. I'm amazed they survived to shrimphood with no supplemental feeding or dosing.

I also have a couple anemones and clownfish I put in there that started laying eggs again. System is 6 months old and this is happening in a 40 breeder connected to 4 large frag tanks I use for SeaCo Corals.

I'm hoping the baby clownfish can survive on the different stages of shrimp babies or whatever the shrimp are surviving on.

Clownfish babies looking almost ready to hatch. They used to spawn regularly and had much more eggs but this is the first time since I moved them 5 months ago.

Tiny baby shrimp literally everywhere. Has to be multiple peppermints. I'm not sure how many adults I have in there 5 or 6.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
