peppermint shrimp

[skylarlust]

can anyone tell me about them when they have eggs what can i do to protect the eggs from the other peppermint shrimp and when do they drop the eggs

[rsisvixen]

Well I would imagine the mother would defend the eggs from other shrimp, also they don't drop the eggs, the eggs will be carried till they hatch into tiny free swimming larvae and be a dinner buffet for the tank.

thank you it is good to now she will keep them till they hatch

baby shrimp generally wont survive more than a few hours in an aquarium, they are very delicate when they hatch
