Increasing Feeder Output!

[Fish Eat Fish]

I just became the proud parent of the largest species of mantis shrimp...the zebra mantis!

This isnt mine but its a Zebra courtesy of The Google...

So im going to need (ok so Its more that I want) lots of feeder guppies!

I already have a 40 gallon brackish tank that has some ex feeders that have been breeding for quite some time but not super efficiently. How can I increase their output and survival rate so I can get some good adult feeders?

Separate out pregnant females?

 

[Fish Eat Fish]

yea...But when do you put the fry back in the main tank?

I always keep the fry in a seperate tank till they are large enough to not get eaten..

I agree, once every few days, look in your tank for pregnant females that look huge and put them in a separate tank. If you want, you can look every few days for females that have already dropped and put them back in the main tank, or use some moss (java moss?) at the bottom
