cleaner shrimp

[cswhitehead]

has anybody successfully breed cleaner shrimp and is it even possible?
the reason i ask is because one of my cleaners is carrying eggs and i thought it might be a cool experiment to try and breed them at a later stage.

anybody have any info or links on what would be needed and how to do it?

Hey man.. It is possible.. But u need rotifers and phytoplankton to rear the young.. And they go through a heavy larval stage.. A few months I think ( I stand to be corrected).. So in the end for the amount of work it is its nt really worth it.. I knw fish and seahorse breeders use the shrimp fry to feed to their fish fry cz they hold a fair amount of hufa..( High fatty acids).. Try googling it.. There is tons of info on the web

Cleaner shrimp can be done.

if you got NOTHING else to do for the next 6 months. As in no going out, no family visits, cancel December, no Christmas presents.

The moult into adult world takes 6 months.

Nope, with SPS you can still go to work, for a few nail bitting hours...
