I _know_ that I have hydroids in my display tank, so I would never use that water in a larval system. If you take the time to cycle the larval tank it really helps. Unfortunately, that means either a flow-through system or keeping a bunch of tanks running all the time so one is ready when you need it.

Settlement has occurred on some of them, 2 of them so far look successful. There are about 15 more to go. Here is a short video. The first half shows the settled sexy shrimp, while the second half shows an unsettled sexy shrimp versus the settled shrimp.

Whys Alives, sure thing, the more info in this thread, more people can benefit from it. Thanks mPedersen. A quick update, I have counted a total of ~6 settled shrimp and 3 more larval shrimp. There might be a few hiding in the chaeto. Also the older settled shrimp are already showing some white coloration. Photos will be posted soon.

You must feel really jazzed. I know I do just looking at them. Can't wait to reproduce your results. :] cmpenney has been kind enough to allow me to duplicate my thread here as well. I'm also attempting to duplicate it elsewhere, but haven't gotten permission from anyone else except myself so far. I have multiple agendas with this project, which you can read about on my site: www.4everb.net It would seem that while there are those who are very happy to benefit from my efforts, it is either my insistence on freedom of information, my off color personality, or my enormous talent for pushing people's buttons, that has since gotten me chased out of more than one thread. I'm going to be a very good boy here. edit: As to my copyright sig, any text of mine posted to this thread of yours is yours to use as community property. And no, it's nothing great, it just needed to be said.

A quick video. I haven't cleaned the bottom of the tank, but will tonight. This is 62 days after larva release. Best shot I could get showing 9 of the 11 sexy shrimp that I was able to raise. SEXY SHRIMP ARMY!

that is awesome! Are you going to keep trying with these? How long does it take for the parents to spawn?

I might keep some, not sure yet. I heard ~90 days for sexual maturity from another thread.

Some updates. The original female passed away about 2 months ago, she was probably about 1.5 - 2 years old. The 11 sexy shrimp that I had settled were transferred to another tank, after the transfer only 4 remained. Those 4 have been growing strong and it appears as if one became a female and the other 3 remained males. I had hoped that more would become female but it might be like that in nature were more become male than females. Also, the good news is that the female, I believe, is carrying eggs. That was about 90-120 days to maturity after settlement. Maybe I will try to breed these babies also. Here are some photos.

Second generation mating video. This time you can clearly see the male defending the female against other males.

Hey Pj, congrates on your continued success! My own shrimp aren't feeling very sexy. Think I'll try a few new recruits sometimes in the next couple weeks. I want to be where you are! :/ Maybe you can let me in on what mood music you're using?
