Hey all!
I currently have Skunk Shrimp, Peppermint Shrimp, and Blood shrimp breeding in my tank! Of course, I have multiple of each.. sometimes it feels like every couple days/week I have babies. The peppermint shrimp like to hide under the rocks (Even after buying big sponges) they don't come out until after 2 am. It's really hard to see their eggs to get an idea of when they will release. Long story short, couple days ago they ALL decided they would release on the same day. I literally have 3 different shrimp larval babies with no way of really separating them as I am collecting them. The only way I have found that doesn't hurt them is using a cup.
Is there a way of collecting them without hurting them?
I purchased this off of bulk reef (waiting for it to get to me.. Link below).
Is there a better way? Right now I am waiting until 12-3 am to collect them. I am only getting less than 10% (which my fish and corals love by them way lol). With thousands of babies, at most I got 100 babies.
Purchased here.
Thank you!
