Cleaner Shrimp Babies!

[eklikewhoa]

So after christmas dinner I was looking past the tank at the mess we had to clean up and the slurry of specs in the tank caught my eye and that's when I saw all these babies everywhere!!!

 

Really sucks cause I thought the shrimp had a larval stage so didn't bother much when I saw the female shrimp berried up.

 

well guess what I read was wrong cause the look like miniature shrimp to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sucks though cause you can see the other cleaner shrimp going to town on the buffet.

I had this happen a few times with my cleaner shrimp. Evidently they are nearly impossible to raise. I tried a few times without much luck. It is very cool to see them though.

 

I figured it would be, it was indeed cool to see and now I don't have to feed the tank for a day.
