Not much unless you remove it to its own tank or fuge.

what's the chance if it is in its own tank?

In my experience it's 0.001%.
Out of thousands of attempts I have had only one live to adulthood.

 

[brownleaf]

Oh, well,
Thanks Bang and Greatfull!

It can be done though. If you'd like more input I can answer questions in detail.

 

[brownleaf]

Please, please Bang, thank you!

The general idea is to keep them from bumping into anything, keep the water clean, and keep a lot of easy to catch food around them. Joyce Kirkendall has a pamphlet called "How To Raise and Train Your Peppermint Shrimp". This is a great starter.
