Cleaner shrimp eggs

[sjohnny8]

So I noticed for the 5th time that my cleaner shrimp has a ton of eggs in his or her belly. What can I do so that it will lay the eggs and have babies? Or can I do that? Please help me with any info.

Put Him In Your Refugium, If You Have One.

I put my pepps in there and now I see a lot of small little shrimp running around.

it wont lay the eggs. She will carry them until they are ready to hatch and then shell crawl up onto the top of some rock and thousands of shrimp larvae will hatch into the water. if you want to try and catch them put a flashlight at one side of the tank away from your filter and all the larvae will accumilate near the light and you can scoop them out.
As for raising them i havent had any luck yet ( i have 2 skunk cleaner shrimp) but im working on it.

peppermints are way easier to breed to adulthoop than cleaner shrimp, i tryed in my refugium with no luck so after awhile i just left them in the main tank and let everyone eat the baby shrimp....alittle snack for everyone

i would just leave them in the main tank, but try to raise them and see what happeneds :happyfish
