Pregnant Peppermint Shrimp, Help

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Raising any sw shrimp is very difficult and time consuming. Tried multiple times with cleaner shrimp and could never get past the 10-14 days hump. I then changed my attitude and considered the baby shrimp as free live food for corals and fish. This was far less stressful than continuing to beat my head against the wall.

My peppermints gave birth in my small tank at least twice that I am aware of I as many others viewed it as free food for everyone. Since putting the shrimp in my big tank one died about a week after going in the other is still going strong but no more babies its the percula's turn now.

Sounds like it's free fish and coral food. Lol. Thanks guys.

And that says a lot about how nutritious the ocean is compared to our tanks. It may seem full of danger but it's a rich environment that we can't reproduce. We have a long way to go before we can replicate that.

Those larvaes die instantly when going through pumps and skimmer as well.
