I decided to trap one of my 3 peppermint shrimp out of my Biocube 29 and place them in a 10g to work on the aiptasia in there.

I cut up a soda bottle and made a trap that I baited with shrimp pellets.

About 05:00, I woke up and checked my trapline.

I got one! Oh wait! Is that babies?

We now have a bucket of baby peppermint shrimp. They are too small to photograph, but I am working on that.
Thankfully, I keep a brine shrimp hatchery going constantly. I also put some RG Complete in with them. Anyone have any experience?
 
Let's here how it goes. Cause I'm trying to hatch some of my shamefaced crabs.
 
After I added RG Complete to my water, I never saw them again. Still have brine shrimp in there. I used a bucket with an air stone to oxygenate. The peppermint were clinging to the side of the bucket is why I greened the water.

I wonder if they were premature due to her being trapped in a soda bottle. I may set up another tank for them. I am interested in trying again.
