wow, what do you do?? lol

Friend bought me another cleaner shrimp, wich is very small. In like 10 days they got in business and now my old lady shrimp is pregnant. BTW shrimps can change sex.

Pretty cool.

Now...should i separate the future mom from the main tank..i guess skimming and powerheads + fishes will kill baby shrimps. Supposed to have babies 8 weeks later, but i'm not sure..hard to find info

oh man if you can raise them you will get a mint for them especially where you live sell them all back to your LFS, good luck with it

 

[KahluaZzZ]

yeah when they're big here you can have 20 $ a piece

i think you will probably have to raise them in a seperate tank if you want any to survive...beyond that i dont know anything about it

 

[KahluaZzZ]

yeah my tank is a death trap for those. I feed my fishes shrimp based food so it'll be a frenzy

 

[aresgod]

[KahluaZzZ]

yeaaah that's cool..gotta take myself in qt or else..don't wanna lose those babies
