pj86 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 pj86, you just successfully completed the full breeding cycle of Thor amboinensis. What are you going to do next? :] lol, I might begin the culturing of flatworms. You know what that means....Blue velvet nudibranch project on the way! Link to comment
pj86 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Quick little update. So I counted 10-11 sexy shrimp. I have named them "los bandoleros", translates to "the bandits." I have grown quite attached to them but am not to certain if I'm going to keep the all. I will take pics and a video this weekend of them and their evil ways. Link to comment

pj86 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Today I decided to rear a second generation marine cultured sexy shrimps. This batched came from the original larva I had raised. Will also document their settlement. Link to comment

pj86 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 thanks altolamprologus, sadly the pom poms didnt make it, wasnt ready for them on time and was gone for the weekend. These hopefully will have more luck. Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 thanks altolamprologus, sadly the pom poms didnt make it, wasnt ready for them on time and was gone for the weekend. These hopefully will have more luck. That sucks It would be cool to see some tiny little pom poms. It's great you got the sexies to settle though. Keep raising them, we need more captive bred species on the market Link to comment
Builder Anthony Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 how many have surrivived altogether? Link to comment
pj86 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Not sure, like 100 or so. I transferred the 2 females right before the spawning to the rearing tank. I had noticed they were seeking the highest point and I knew that they were going to spawn. Link to comment

pj86 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Been really busy with med school, and neglected the shrimps. Only one survived with erratic feeding and water changes. Here is a current picture, along side a dime for comparison in size Link to comment
ShrimpyPooh Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 great thread. 2 of my sexy shrimps have eggs i noticed sunday. im debating when to put them into my rearing tank, i dont want them to hatch in my reg tank. im scared the eggs might be duds though. ive heard that they can have eggs but no babies in them?, is this true?
