Do you have a thread ( or some other source about this proces ) that I can read? My peppermints and cleaner shrimp pairs have had eggs a number of times but obviously they get eaten ( or the larvae anyways ).

Very NICE!!!

 

[RokleM]

Good work!

 

[Hormigaquatica]

Nice job! Glad to see it finally worked for you.

I don't have a thread but wouldn't mind putting something together.... actually I wouldn't mind putting something together to give a presentation at a cora meeting.. The actual set up is pretty basic but it definatly needs some improvement
the problem with shrimp culture ( at least with ornimentals) is the long planktonic stage

 

[MarineFishGuy]

That is really cool!

We Would be Glad to have you come put on a presentation for the club.
PM me and we can work on a date.

It would be cool if you could cover some of the Secore information too. I found it fascinating to read about that.

I noticed there is also a large population of Bangaii Cardinals at the zoo. They appear to be reproducing in the display.

Something around the reproductive strategies of different marine organisms and what makes each strategy unique would be very interesting.

[Mr Neutron]

So when can I place an order for some of Ramon's Finest Cultured Peppermint Shrimp?

 

[yiliyang]

That is awesome. how did the larvae survive the filtration system?

That is the first time I hear of peps larvae settling.

 

[hystrix]

Mr. Neutron do I know you?? your name is familiar? I use to be in the Orlando Reef Club when I worked at SeaWorld in Orlando. Anyways get a hold of my boss for the order JK. Hello yiliyang, I set up 10 gal tanks for the larvae. The tanks had sponge filters for filtration.

 

[cward]

I think a trip to the Zoo is in order

I have a question.My peppermint shrimp has a tail full of eggs.Should I seperate her until the eggs hatch,then remove the mother.Any info would help.
Thanks

 

[biger]

I have a pair that seem to have eggs all the time. Do the eggs help feed the reef?
