My cleaner shrimp are prego, they have blackish green beads around and on there flipper fin kicker things?
Im setting up a five gal, or should i do an acclimation box inside an existing tank? I need advice and hel0 cause i know very little on breeding!!

Good luck with the cleaners...Check out Mofib...get yer phyto setup...but just know you are looking at 6 months in the plankton til settlement

Swimmerettes/ pleopods you mean?

It will not happen. They'll need live rotifers at all times.

So there not gonna have babies? Im confused on what i have to do?

[mrlee]

do nothing, let them be fish food. they will be to hard for you to raise...

[Mike Bennett]

Agreed, raising these are near impossible for people who aren't breeders.

Tasty treats for your fish though. :beerchug:

[Andrew.C]

Ok, then should i not feed my fish the day they hatch

[kylesmoney]

[Mike Bennett]

Yeah, I'd just ignore it or take pictures of it ;)
