Sexy shrimp breeding

[dkreeftreasures]

Does anyone breed sexy shrimp? I was thinking about using this for the babies. Opinions?

It can take a while for the spawn to settle, as much as a couple of months. The jelly tank should keep them moving about and such, I would just keep in mind that good water quality will be absolutely necessary until they settle so I would have some cycled media ready to go in the filter section of this tank before you get started.

I have a small group of them, but they've never spawned that I've noticed. (Peppermints and cleaners are going all the time!)

Does anyone know what the larvae feed on?

I've gotten mine to spawn several times but I haven't been able to raise the babies yet.

Feeding wise are you referring to the babies?

I was, but K. Steven's link answered that - the yolk sacks out of new-hatched bbs. Fascinating.

Y’all... my 13 year old daughter is doing this in a cheap 5 gallon tank with multiple generations of young maturing in the same tank as the parents. Don’t overthink it!
