Hi again!

I am so excited to share my second round of attempted sexy shrimp larvae rearing!

This time, my setup is much nicer looking AND 10 times as functional as the last… mechanism i thought up.

I used a brine shrimp hatchery and stuck it into the third chamber of my AIO so that i don’t need to heat it! The mother is inside already and tumbling around on some chaeto while i wait for her to release the larvae.

I think this will work!!! I have high hopes 😁

Any updates?
very late and bummer update: Unfortunately this did not work out for me! And quite tragically all but one of my sexy shrimp died for seemingly unknown reasons. As of today, the sole survivor sexy shrimp has her very own bubble tip anemone all to herself.

I would have tried buying some more sexies and raising the fry again since I made this post, but those suckers are so expensive… plus I really did my best with my little brine shrimp hatchery idea too, I got pretty discouraged when absolutely nothing came of it and haven’t tried again!
