mattyice Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 from the looks of it i have a cleaner shrimp pair, but my question is the female (my guess) is holding an older batch of eggs that looks pretty close to hatching and the male (once again another guess) is holding newer set of green eggs, is this normal? it looks as if they have been pretty busy in the back of the aquarium lately lol Link to comment
travisurfer Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 cleaner shrimp don't really form pairs. they are hermaphroditic so they take turns being male and female. the only problem is that they are hard to rear. Link to comment
Matty1124 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 sounds like your going to have a bunch of free food in your tank though Link to comment
mattyice Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 my plan is for the free food, the anthias will love it! im not too worried about rearing them just getting some extra nutrients in my tank and some free coral food too Link to comment
