Just as an experiment I was thinking of setting up a 20gallon tank with a few rocks and my 2 coral banded shrimp to try to get the eggs to hatch. Anyone ever done this before and where can I find some reading on how to go about doing this?

I found this for others that are interested but if anyone has anything else to add please do so!

foods rich in astaxanthin are shown to greatly improve the viability of newly hatched shrimp. all the aquaculture guys are hooked on it, bet you could google a good article on it too. (that is what cyclop-eeze was designed for)
