HTH.

 

[Calappidae]

If you can obtain a pair (very easy see a bonded pair at the lfs) they will regularly breed and hatch fertilized eggs.. however unless your tank is very dedicated they will be destroyed by filteration and predators.

Mine breed but end up being fish food.

Mine started breeding like 2 weeks after I added them and I have yet to see them without eggs since. Free fish food every couple of weeks lol. From what I've read, it's not impossible to raise the larvae to adults, but it is very VERY difficult.

may want to check out the MBI site and see if anyone has done it there.

May need to look them up by scientific name.
