Breeding cleaner shrimp..

[austinfish]

I'm thinking of making my 12 gal a breeding tank for cleaner shrimp. Has anyone been able to breed a shrimp to adulthood?
Is it very difficult?
Thanks

Yes. It's not as easy as it would appear.
Things that kill Cleaner Shrimp Larvae:
Bumping into any object.
Lack of appropriately sized food.
Lack of highly nutritional food.
Lack of water circulation.
Lack of clean water.
Hydriods.
Amphipods.
Algae.

So has anyone been able to breed and raise shrimp?
Any tricks to it?

Go to google.com and type in breeding cleaner shrimp and a lot of articles will come up. I have a cleaner with eggs right now and was reading up on it. I do not plan on any making it. But I am going to try. I got a breeder net tank to put in my main tank and try to get some to make it.
