I wonder if they are getting old, and now don't always spawn as they would as younger shrimp.  Feeling like I'm running out of time with these adults, I placed a snagger in their tank, and this morning I got this:       check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #30 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata boggessi Sunday, February 1, 2015 8:57 PM (permalink) I happened to start some brine shrimp hatchers yesterday to supplement the food of my neon gobies, but the shrimp had not hatched this morning when the peppermints were hungry, so I got a tank ready for them, and fed them the adults from all my calanoid copepods.  I've never done peps before so I'm pretty sure this batch will fail, but a person has to keep trying. This afternoon, the brine shrimps hatched, so they got some of them. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #31 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata boggessi Monday, February 2, 2015 9:20 AM (permalink) Originally Posted by KathyL I've never done peps before so I'm pretty sure this batch will fail, but a person has to keep trying.   Don't say that!  I can tell you from experience that overfeeding NHBBS is a problem because the BS grow faster than the Peppermints, and when they are too big the Peppermints can't/won't catch them.  I always overfed - they aren't as voracious as Clown larvae.

It's the end of day 3, the day that Kirkendoll says that if the shrimp didn't eat in the first few hours after hatching, they would die.  So I guess the shrimp ate copepods in the first few hours after hatching.  There are lots of them in the shrimp tank, but getting pictures is trouble.  I'm feeding NHBS to the shrimps, but also in the gobie tank. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #34 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata boggessi Wednesday, February 4, 2015 10:59 PM (permalink) Very hard to get pictures in situ.
