In Memoriam
I've had 4 skunks in my tank for about 2yrs and tonight I witnessed something really cool.
While I was shining a flashlight in my tank in noticed 2 of my shrimp were carrying eggs (the other 2 were filled with eggs also, but they were green??). After observing 1 of them with the light for about 3-4 minutes she started bending her abdomen and releasing shrimp larvae everywhere. There had to be at least 200-300 tiny shrimp swimming around.
i have a couple of questions.
1st question- Is there anyway to collect these larvae and raise them?
2. If there is, are there any books on raising shrimp in captivity?
3. Has anyone done it successfully?
4. Should I stop feeding my corals/inverts for a couple of days because of all the larvae floating around. -->(I watched my Sun-coral have a feeding frenzy right after she released her larvae.)
