Unexpected surprise need help !!!

[whatnot45]

Ok so yesterday i noticed my seahorses were abnormally active in the tank. They were swimming around all day and i had no idea why. So i didnt worry about it. Now today i looked more closely and found that they are eating hundreds of baby peppermint shrimp that are floating around the tank.. This is great, but i would kinda like to maybee raise some of them. How might i do this?

Enjoy the free food for the horses. Start your reseach now on how to raise shrimp fry. Then the next time they breed you will be ready.

If you are interested in raising them, check out the breeders forum. They are not easy though.

I hear that of most shrimp, they are one of the easiest to raise. By no means easy... but just easier. Cleaner are quite difficult, I believe. I'm not sure how accurate this is (just word of mouth), but good luck raising them.

I would get a copy of the book How to Raise and Train Your Peppermint Shrimp by April Kirkendoll
