I'M a father!
 
:D
There was a feeding frenzy in Ranzreef.
Thousands and Thousands of baby cleaner shrimp! There everywhere! There everywhere!

I just seen my cleaner shrimp disperse her babies through-out my tank, the parrent shrimp are huge for cleaner shrimp...
It was so cool I just wanted to share this!

Does this happen often?

Congrats !

If you are interested these are easily raised in captivity.

Zulu, if I am not mistaken Cleaner shrimp are difficult to raise in captivity but the peppermint shrimp are easy to raise. I find just using a foam filter helps alot of the baby shrimp grow up.

Not true, most of the principles can be transfer from peppermint to raising the lavae of cleaner shrimp.
