I've got babies! (pep shrimp)

[rskibum]

I wasn'sure what the mess was for a while!

A couple of Q's

Can I raise these?

What do they eat, how long is the planktonic stage??

I assume these are the $$ q's but I'm so psyched !!!

Are you positive they are from peppermint shrimp? Mysid shrimps which are very common to reef tanks looks very much like baby peppermint shrimps.

Same faint pink colors.

I don't think I have any mysid, but I know there are two peppermints in there! I assumed it was them.

I posted a pic I got there


BTW they all disappeared by the next day, If it happens again I'll but the book that was mentioned and give raising them a try.

I have been working on pepermint shrimp for some time. I have had some sucess but vrey little. "Liquid" helped me find the books and resources to read up on them. I would suggest a bunch of reading. I spent more than a few months and 100's fo dollars before I had a few survive the molts.

Good luck
