Hi All,

Just have a quick question... In addition to my two 240L tanks I have also set up a smaller shrimp tank containing Cherry / Pumpkin / Bamboo shrimp and 3 Laos micro crabs.

Ashamedly I have somewhat neglected the tank and to my surprise the Cherry Shrimp are breeding like mad. I now have a Bamboo shrimp carrying eggs - can anyone offer advice on breeding Bamboos or do I just let nature take its course as I have been doing?

Thanks

Hi, welcome! I think your post got lost in here.

I don't know of anyone with Bamboo shrimp babies. Did yours ever have babies?

It seems you found a good set up. I would note that cleaning the filters in treated water will keep your colony of beneficial bacteria alive, as the Chlorine and other chemicals will kill the good bacteria too.

It seems the babies need brackish water to survive according to info on Planet Inverts. I hope you were able to find out about this already!
