coral banded shrimp question.

[scottallert]

i have a pair of mated coral banded shrimp.
she released her eggs about a 3 weeks ago, they all were eaten i think.
well i plan on keeping the next batch alive.
so heres the question how long until they have another clutch of eggs?
and has anyone had success keeping the babys alive?

Every 14 days or so.They reproduce rather quickly.

It takes over 100 days (around 180 IIRC) for the larval shrimp to go through numerous stages before settling out. Each stage is tricky and losses along the way are high. So far no one has gotten more than a couple (as in one or two) all the way to settlement. In the breeding forum there is a thread by Louis on Lysmata cleaner shrimp that is full of good info that will be useful, even for the Stenopus shrimp.
