Cleaner shrimp.
I jusat missed geting a pic but i saw the crazest thing just now. my tobbacco bass was laying on the sand bed and a cleaner walked by so the bass opened his mouth and the cleaner shoved his "arms" all the way down its throght.
I was in awe for a moment thinking this cant be good then i turned around to get the camera and it was over.

I have two cleaner shrimp who are always full of eggs. When the eggs are ready, they seem to move to the outside of the back-end of the cleaner shrimp and you can see them on the outside. Eggs look bright green while inside but are white once they move out. Then I think the eggs just hatch and you have millions of little shrimp. I once caught a feeding frenzy in my tank and can advise that the cleaners are not good parents and are quite happy to eat their young.

My cleaners seem to carry eggs for a while & then next thing you know it's like a shaken snow globe in there!
Teeny shrimp being blown all over the place & the fish & parents scrambling to eat as much as they can catch. .

Well, my survival rate so far is zilch and none. The fish eat them so fast they barely have time to realize that they are out of the egg! I only have a 28 gallon so if there were babies that made it chances are I would see them.
