My coral banded shrimp pair have been producing eggs every two week for about 4 months now. I watch the eggs get bigger and bigger and turn a bright aqua color then she releasing them on the 8th day or so. Then in a couple of days will again mate with the male again and she will tear one of his arms off. I guess shrimp sex is pretty epic. Anyway can anyone point me in a direction for more information on raising the shrimp babies? is their a word for shrimp babies?
 
There is a word for shrimp babies.They are called Zoea but you can refer to them simply as larvae.Raising them is unfortunately very difficult and seldom,if ever,done.
