0pius Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 My ghost/glass shrimp that I found in the rock pools have finally released her clutch and the fry are swimming around. Question is what do I feed them?. Has anyone else bred these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I just have a heap in my sump I dont know how to keep them alive for that long because when I get egg carying shrimp i usualy seperate them into my last compartment in my sump and once they hatch the pump sucks them into the tank seahorse food lol but in saying that i do miss some and I have little shrimp alive that I didnt catch so they survived somehow I think lack off predation rocks to hide from other shrimp should do the trick I haardly even really feed my shrimp they just get watever comes outa the tank into the sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelifaxNZ Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Can you actually keep rock pool shrimps in with your reef? How do the fish cope with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtman Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 alot of fish will eat them,but yea they will survive quite happily if they are free from predators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelifaxNZ Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 So if a lot of fish eats these shrimps, why don't they eat any of the other types of shrimps like cleaner or fire shrimps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Some do. Some fish just aren't big enough to eat the bigger shrimp. Like my basslett for example. Tiny shrimp end up a bulge in his stomach. Anything over an inch, inch and a half or so survive just fine...Well, maybe lose the occasional antenna.
