Breeding Cleaning Shrimp

Jonno · 07-23-2006, 09:53 AM

Hi,

Well i was watching my shrimp yesterday and saw the biggest one looked like it was carrying eggs, I compared it to my other one and it differently does look like eggs I have tried to take a picture of it , but my macro aint so good on my camera so u can't really see them. There are quite a few and there sort of yellowey colour.

So if i do have eggs, how does it work does the shrimp scatter them and then the male fertilizers them ? (excuse spelling) If anyone has breed them i would love
to know more ???

So any help is much appreciated.

If you have fish in the tank the shrimp will provide free fish food!

Extremely unlikely that any will survive.
