If SW shrimps are anything like FW ones, I know the chances are 'very' slim of him having more due to habitat/food requirements, but, there is a member on here who bought 2 peps and ended up with a bunch ..... :smile:

Those little shrimp larvaes are very very fragile. They die as soon as they hit any powerhead. They almost need stagnant water to survive and constant feeding with zooplankton. It's nearly impossible to have one survive.

I currently have a mantis shrimp with eggs and it's the same doomed scenario I think, especially that mantis larvaes eat each other.

Ya...they're all gone. My wrasse saw them in the morning and went on a freeding frenzy.

I saw someone build a tank that holds jellyfish and apparently its used to raise the juvies this way too...tempted to build one...

Does anyone know how :)
