ghost fish breeding

[SliverTab]

I am trying to breed SW ghost shrimp in a breeder aquarium for my aggressive tank build... I have a clown angler, ribbon eel and lion fish in my 115 gallon aquarium. Can anyone help me out please.

Misleading title

But you can't have any filteration since larva will be sucked up.. a bubbler, some macro such as chaeto, and really keep a close eye on water quality may be good enough. Just buy a ton of the shrimp.. like a 100 or more and then they'll probably start breeding.

Its alot easier to do it with mollies tho. Most mollies can be acclimated to live in saltwater and breed like no tomorrow. And yes, your fish will eat them :bigeyes: They're also good algae control.

Thank you very much I'll look into breeding mollies sounds like a good idea! Im guessing I should gut load them to try and make them better for my fish?

I'd let them just eat the algae present in the fuge. Freshwater food wouldn't be a good idea to gut load your feeders with.

The problem is I don't have a refugium because I drill my aquarium...
