I hope you have success with this species, perhaps even finding a way shorten their larval stage. The adults are so friendly and interesting.   How do you steal eggs from a shrimp anyway?   #11 Chelsey Total Posts : 119 Reward points : 144 Joined: 8/1/2010 Location: Columbia, MO Status: offline MBI: 700 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata amboinensis, Cleaner Shrimp Thursday, October 21, 2010 6:00 PM (permalink) Very carefully, with a pipette   #12 Cerebral Fish Total Posts : 62 Reward points : 342 Joined: 6/2/2010 Location: , IL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata amboinensis, Cleaner Shrimp Thursday, October 21, 2010 7:19 PM (permalink) Very cool. I would have thought the pleopods are too sensitive to get away with something like that. It's good to know they aren't.   #13 Chelsey Total Posts : 119 Reward points : 144 Joined: 8/1/2010 Location: Columbia, MO Status: offline MBI: 700 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata amboinensis, Cleaner Shrimp Friday, October 22, 2010 12:17 PM (permalink) I don't think that I'll be doing it on a regular basis, but the shrimp doesn't appear to be at all harmed by it.  The key words to my previous statement are VERY CAREFULLY.  I didn't just pry the pleopods apart and pillage the eggs   #14 Cerebral Fish Total Posts : 62 Reward points : 342 Joined: 6/2/2010 Location: , IL, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata amboinensis, Cleaner Shrimp Friday, October 22, 2010 8:05 PM (permalink) I understand. Use with extreme care.   Have the little guys developed much in the past few days?   #15 Chelsey Total Posts : 119 Reward points : 144 Joined: 8/1/2010 Location: Columbia, MO Status: offline MBI: 700 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata amboinensis, Cleaner Shrimp Friday, October 22, 2010 9:37 PM (permalink) We moved the mamma shrimp into a separate container because we didn't have the egg collector set up on the tank she's in.  It stressed her out too much and she released the eggs prematurely   Lesson learned.  Next time we'll have the egg collector set up.  Her "mate" is also carrying eggs, though they're in the mint green stage, so when she's ready we'll set up an egg collector.   #16 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon
