Just got a mated pair of coral banded shrimp.

I got them from my lps for 30 bucks and the guy said they have laid eggs twice. I was wondering how hard it is to raise the fry.

I've been wanting a pair of them for a while now but I don't have any place for them right now.

You should post pics.

They are cool I'm using my iPhone and you can't post them on here.

The shrimp are easy to keep but if you plan on raising the fry good luck. Very few are successfull.

There is an app that lets you upload to imageshack and then you just embed the link so the pic is in your thread

Works and is super easy if you ever wanted to share pics straight from your iPhone or iPad

What's it called?

"upload image" is the name of the app I use

I'm on my iPad now, and you just upload it, it gives you a link then you can copy it and paste the link to embed pics like this

Photo bucket, it's free and easy. If you have Facebook sign up is a cinch. The. Upload pics from phone, and copy image code to the message and there you go.

Feed them nbbbs. The problem is they will eat each other and you will end up with one larvae.

You can tell when the female has eggs, they are green

Not even very few
No success reports that I am aware...

It was my understanding that shrimp require T. Iso algae initially. In a large enough rearing environment with readily available foods any cannibalism can be reduced. Once settlement occures separated housing would be best.

Luis: My sleep deprived brain seems to recall a paper I read several years ago of a success. I however can't recall anything other than that impression and a photo showing a couple of small(tiny) shrimp settled on a piece of live rock.

You´re right.There is one,old,shady report of it having been raised among other species.Close to nothing,really:hmm2:
