Ok,I have a mated pair of peppermint shrimp.One has a tail full of eggs.My question is should I just leave them alone,will they take care of the fry,keep them safe from other tank mates,or do I need to seperate her or them into an small container until they hatch,then remove parents,male etc..
Any advice on this will be helpfull.
Thanks
 
Shrimp are tough. You would need to setup a tank for breeding and need special food and cultures going. If this is something you are interested in; you may want to contact Atlantis Marine World (JustJoe on here) and ask for assistance or advice on proper rearing of the fry.
