Peppermint shrimp

[ohiobart]

I have about 15 peppermint shrimp in my tank and about 6 or 7 have eggs clinging underneath them. Is there anything I can do to help keep the babies after the eggs are laid. This seems to be an ongoing thing in my tank but I've yet to see any new shrimp.

There's a small book titled How Yo Raise & Train Your Peppermint Shrimp by April Kirkendoll. It's the best I've seen on raising Shrimp Larvae.

Sure!
Pull out a molt and toss it in a corner and say "DOWN!" It will lie down on the floor. Now say "STAY!" It will stay there. Now say "COME!" as you walk toward it. It will come closer to you.
