Shrimp mad egg laying

[Absint Reefer]

My coral banded shrimp pair have been producing eggs every two week for about 4 months now. I watch the eggs get bigger and bigger and turn a bright aqua color then she releasing them on the 8th day or so. Then in a couple of days will again mate with the male again and she will tear one of his arms off. I guess shrimp sex is pretty epic. Anyway can anyone point me in a direction for more information on raising the shrimp babies? is their a word for shrimp babies?

Usually most will say that it will be hard to rear the eggs into little shrimp babies. On the other hand the eggs are high in nutritional content and your filter feeders and corals will appreciate the extra nutrition that they offer as will any gobies, dragonets or smaller fish.

I am not aware of anyone/any company that has be able to raise any shrimp -- so there will be no/little info out there.

Just let your fish/corals enjoy the snack.
