They need to be fertilized (I think) to be a real spawn. Yeah mine breeds singly too, but i'm pretty sure if they are a pair and one has eggs they are not not going to fertilize them.    <message edited by thepanfish on Tuesday, June 1, 2010 2:01 PM>   #31 fishboy13 Total Posts : 151 Reward points : 431 Joined: 10/25/2009 Location: Waterford, MI Status: offline MBI: 480 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) Wednesday, June 2, 2010 11:48 AM (permalink) They may have been fertilized before you bought the shrimp, they can store sperm for up to 6 clutches of eggs by themselves.  The only reason why I thought mine was weird was because I had no eggs until I added a second shrimp.  Funny thing is that now both of my shrimp have eggs in them.   #32 fishboy13 Total Posts : 151 Reward points : 431 Joined: 10/25/2009 Location: Waterford, MI Status: offline MBI: 480 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) Wednesday, June 2, 2010 12:03 PM (permalink) Here are some pictures of the development:   ~80 hours post hatch   ~87hours post hatch       ~94hours post hatch   ~112hours post hatch   And pictures of the rearing vessel:   A nauplii in the water:   I hope that you enjoy these pictures, today I still have several hundred shrimp left and I'm on day 5 .   #33 fishboy13 Total Posts : 151 Reward points : 431 Joined: 10/25/2009 Location: Waterford, MI Status: offline MBI: 480 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) Thursday, June 3, 2010 3:48 PM (permalink) ~138 hours post hatch I'm now at Zoea 3   #34 thepanfish Total Posts : 24 Reward points : 129 Joined: 4/20/2010 Location: Ferndale, MI Status: offline MBI: 10 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) Thursday, June 3, 2010 4:33 PM (permalink) Originally Posted by Joost reef Cool, I'm 15...
