hi i have 4 cleaners and 1 had lots of eggs. chance of babies surviving with fish is rare. i feed them with silverside in my hand and they come to me, think that's the easiest way to catch them and move to other tank. My pregnant cleaner has disappeared about 5 days now, without any predator i have been frustrated why i couldn't find it.

I have seen the babies in my tank. Mine don't survive through the night, because I have a tank full of corals and fish. They won't survive unless you have a way to feed them. If you are asking how to remove the babies once they've hatched use a flashlight to get them into one area ( they are attracted to light ). Then you can siphon them out or use a baster or cup but do not use a net. I can not speak from experience only from what I have read. I plan to attempt to raise some in the near future. Good Luck

i tried to breed the cleaner shirmps, and peppermint shirmps, but they all just die within 4 or 5 days, all disappear. i put them in 10 gallons tank to breed, and i hatch brime shrimp to feed them. But, when they breed at night, and i wake up at morning only seen a few like 10+, and they all disappear in 4 or 5 days.
if anybody have success please post it out on how to do it.
