Has anyone had success breeding cleaner shrimp?

[Mina1227]

I have one. Is it worth buying another one and try breeding them?

There have been a few successful breeders that have done it but in the end they usually only end up with 1 after 10 months. They can be very hard to breed

So any two cleaner shrimp would mate or do I have to do anything specific.

Any 2 cleaners will work.

Thanks

Anytime, if you do try to raise them please make a thread about it. Would love to watch.

Mine breed but the result is fish food.

Mathew Palmtag successfully bred and raised them. He has published papers on the topic.

I will definitely try to. It's not fun if it's not a challenge.

Does their size matter? Do I have to buy an adult?

I have breed them but no luck raising the fry. I breed & raised Peppermint shrimp but only got 2 to adult so not trying that again.
