  • Thousands of baby shrimps just hatched..

    I just looked at the tank and noticed that there are hundreds if not thousands of baby shrimp that just hatched in the tank. Must be from my peppermint shrim since I saw a couple of female peps with eggs before. They are swarming the tank. Unfortunately, my fish are making a quick meal out of them and there's nothing I can do to save them. I hope some make it and become adults..

          Some of them will make it. They should bury themselves in the coral.

              That's always fun to see :) Unfortunately they will not make it to adulthood, raising the larvae is very difficult. The ones that aren't eaten by fish usually end up starving in a normal reef tank. You can raise them in a larval tank, I've had success using live rotifers as their first food.
