alanmin4304 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 In a previous life when I was breeding killies like gardneri we used to add cyclops for the same reason and people often used to put one in a tube of eggs when posting them. Worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caserole Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hi kyle , kerry and I could not be be bothered reading that link, we have guess that you are talking about using the nz glass shrimp to clean the fish eggs. so what you need to know is will they eat the eggs or just cavenge the bits off them leaving the eggs alive. apparently this shrimp lives in salt, brackish and fresh. and Steve O'Shae (the giant squid guy) uses them to clean his squid eggs and it works really well, so we say sounds like a cracker of an idea - go fore it. note of caution - Kerry thinks you should not use the very large adult shrimp but the juvenile or sub adult shrimps to be on the safe side, size around 10mm.
