shrimp breeding

[skyshrimp]

How many of you think that it would be a good idea to try to do a shrimp hatchery of various shrimps. Cleaner,peppermints,fire, etc. Also anyone have any experience doing this already?

I used to have a pair of cleaner shrimp that used to lay eggs on a regular basis in my 55. They would hatch and be all over the tank for one night and that would be the last I would see of them. I think it could be done but I would not have the time or patience to deal with the set up and raising of the guys. But with the prices they are going for now it would be worth it if you could find a market for them.

Think I may give it a try. Probaly buy the stuff to start in the nex 2 weeks. I already got the baby peps every whee at night when I turm the pumps off after last feeding. Only do this about twice a week. But ill try and let everyone know how it goes.

Sounds like a fun and challenging idea. You might check out http://www.marinebreeder.org/ if you haven't, they have some breeding information on various species on their forums.
