Peppermint Shrimp are consider Cleaner Shrimp too. I'll assume you have 3 Peppermint Cleaners and a Scarlet Cleaner
All Cleaner Shrimp can store sperm for a few months. They can also lay unfertilized eggs that will not hatch. Fertilized eggs are bright green until they are a few days from hatching.

Well, sometimes when cleaner fish mature, they have babies (a.k.a Johnnys)

yea i thought it would be just unfertilized...but they do have that green color..................can the pepperment get it pregnant????????? also it seems that if they are not fertalized she wouldn't be caring for them...(she rubs them or something)

I would like to suggest that from now on everyone just ignores grindzgreg posts. He seems to get cheap thrills by posting nonsense and conflicting posts.
