Baby Shrimp

[three dawgs]

I think my cleaner shrimps or peppermint shrimps has had babies. I see LOTS of little critters hidding under the rock. Too fast to get a visual. Anybody know ho long it takes to grow before your able to distingquish what they are exactly (if theyre shrimps)
Thanks Three Dawgs :biggrin:

If they are in fact babies, they won't get to a size you'll recognize them at. They need special requirements to get past the first couple of days. What you most likely are seeing is mysis shrimp. They are tiny little critters that dart around the base of rocks and such.

Unlikely. See Brad's post.
