Cleaner Shrimp Pregnant

[Dimitri Georges]

Hello everyone,

Recently I noticed that one of my cleaner shrimp was pregnant, is there any way for me to keep the eggs and raise cleaner shrimp? Or are the eggs better left as food for the tank?

Is this a fresh or salt water shrimp?

If you can symphony the young when they hatch, as other critters will likely enjoy a meal of mini shrimp

Its just the typical saltwter cleaner shrimp. How would I go about catching these critters when they do hatch?

Also where do the shrimp hide these eggs? I'm assuming in rock crevaces and other hard to reach areas

For most they hatch on the shrimp, then disperse

You could put the holding female in your sump.
