breeding cleaner shrimp

[ZivioRR]

anyone try to breed cleaner shrimps?? heard u need to change water without filter for 70 days b4 u can see them with ur bare eyes, si it true?

It's extremely difficult, and IMHO impossible for the average and even advanced aquarist. I had an article of it being done for the first time in a marine lab. No idea where it is now.

It's very difficult to keep them alive after release from the parent. Getting the shrimp to mate is easy enough though. Great free food source really. Try this article.
