Holy cow look at all these shrimp!

I just turned on the lights to my aquarium and saw HUNDREDS of tiny shrimp swimming around. Wow.

Shrimp or pods? Either way, free food! Woo-hoo!

Might be pods, either way, no fish yet, I just started this tank a few weeks ago and boy am I stoked over the lr.com rock that brought the wonderful critters!!!

What kind of shrimp do you have in there besides the new little ones?

My cleaners had 100's of little ones as well. The next day they were all gone bye, bye....

Cool anyway though!

I have 3 pregnant shrimp right now. Could i put them in the qt tank and try to raise them??

 

[seaham358]

never heard of anyone raising shrimp, IMO not going to happen... Free food for the fish.

There is some weird big silent unclawed red shrimp that came in on the live rock, that's it. And a few little sand colored ones.

Sounds pretty kewl, I put 2 crown conchs in my tank 2 1/2 weeks ago and they are working on there 3rd batch of eggs. each lil egg pod has about 100-300 eggs in it and i have counted about 30 egg pods so far. If i do the math...that's like alot. Anyone else have crown conch's laying eggs???
