Cleaner Shrimp Breeding.......

[N-E Cichlids]

I'm messing around with Cleaner shrimp breeding and the raising of the fry. From the research I have done, It seems like no one has had luck raising them to full size. I saw where Scientist have had luck in a lab, but not to the point of being able to produce mass quantities for the aquarium trade. I have not found a lot of info, so any would be helpful. I am currently messing with 3 shrimp at the moment (2F/1M) First female released about 2.5 weeks ago. I have started to see the fry the last couple of days. They are still very small, but definately shrimp and not copepods.

If you have had any experience or know where to find more info, Please post.

Thanks
Nick

My cleaners realease fry about once every 2 months at first i tried to raise them. 1st try i got them to 3 out of 9-12 molts 2nd try 5 out of 9-12 molts after that i gave up and let my fish eat them. Now im trying to get my bengai and pjama cardinals to breed.
