I set up the larval snagger that I purchased from Chad Vossen, and then left the room. I came back about half an hour later to a snagger full of Peppermint Shrimp Larvae.    7/20/14 Some Pics after they were transferred to the Larval Tank   <message edited by mil3sdavis on Tuesday, July 22, 2014 8:36 PM>   #2 mil3sdavis Total Posts : 37 Reward points : 81 Joined: 7/15/2014 Location: Cedarville, Ohio, US Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Tuesday, July 22, 2014 8:38 PM (permalink) 7/22/2014 Here some pics at 2 days   #3 mil3sdavis Total Posts : 37 Reward points : 81 Joined: 7/15/2014 Location: Cedarville, Ohio, US Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Friday, July 25, 2014 10:05 PM (permalink) 7/25/2014 Day 5    #4 mil3sdavis Total Posts : 37 Reward points : 81 Joined: 7/15/2014 Location: Cedarville, Ohio, US Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Tuesday, July 29, 2014 10:03 PM (permalink) 7/29/2014 Day 9    #5 mil3sdavis Total Posts : 37 Reward points : 81 Joined: 7/15/2014 Location: Cedarville, Ohio, US Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Tuesday, August 5, 2014 8:43 PM (permalink) 8/1/2014: Day 12 (Eye stalks under microscope)      8/5/2014: Day 16   #6 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 rathbunae Wednesday, August 6, 2014 9:32 AM (permalink) Beatiful pix, but what are the parents like?  You'll need that for your reports!  I've never seen rathbunae in local stores, so I am curious to see what they are like. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #7 mil3sdavis Total Posts : 37 Reward points : 81 Joined: 7/15/2014 Location: Cedarville, Ohio, US Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Wednesday, August 6, 2014 11:09 AM (permalink)  I can't say definitively that these are indeed Lysmata rathbunae as opposed to Lysmata wurdemanni (as they are extremely similar). The only reson I have to belive that they are rathbunae is that they don't seem to be interested in Aiptasia. The parents are nearly impossible to get a picture of, they barely ever come out in the open. I usually only see them when they are hiding deep in my Montipora Capricornus, where I can't get a picture of them. When these guys metamorphisize, I'll verify for certain that they are Lysmata rathbunae. I will also be keeping an eye out for the parents so that I can eventually get pics of them.   #8 mil3sdavis Total Posts : 37 Reward points : 81 Joined: 7/15/2014 Location: Cedarville, Ohio, US Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Thursday, August 7, 2014 7:38 PM (permalink) Just for kicks, I took some pics with my microscope.

Week 6 I lost almost all of them, but started to have a few settle.    I now have 4 of these guys.     #10 Magicj Total Posts : 82 Reward points : 254 Joined: 8/29/2013 Location: Hobart, Tasmania, AU Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Sunday, September 7, 2014 6:31 PM (permalink) Four settled is better than none - well done.   Any ideas on what happened to cause the deaths? Nutrition. water quality?   #11 luis a m Total Posts : 451 Reward points : 1249 Joined: 3/15/2011 Location: Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, AR Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Saturday, September 13, 2014 3:47 PM (permalink) These are L.boggessi. L.rathbunae is a deep water species unlikely to be found in stores.   #12 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 rathbunae Sunday, September 14, 2014 12:02 AM (permalink) Apparantly, rathbunae also meta much more quickly than these guys.  I wish I could get my hands on a few. check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #13 mil3sdavis Total Posts : 37 Reward points : 81 Joined: 7/15/2014 Location: Cedarville, Ohio, US Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Friday, February 27, 2015 2:18 PM (permalink) It appears that I'm about to come full circle with these guys. I upgraded my main display tank and didn't find the parents during the move, and haven't seen them since. But on the bright side, I've been keeping an eye on the young. I've been keeping them in a 20L tank that houses my baby clowns. I just noticed last night that it appears that the shrimp are about to spawn. At least three of them show signs of egg development in their abdomens.   Notice that the eggs appear to be orange/yellow, is that consistent with luis_a_m's  L.boggessi assessment? I agree that they do appear to be L. boggessi based off of this post .          Sorry about the image quality, the lights on that tank aren't the greatest. Gonna have to figure out a way to get more light.      #14 mil3sdavis Total Posts : 37 Reward points : 81 Joined: 7/15/2014 Location: Cedarville, Ohio, US Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Friday, February 27, 2015 2:20 PM (permalink) Originally Posted by Magicj Four settled is better than none - well done.

Nutrition. water quality?   I'm sure it was water quality, I wasn't very diligent about vacuuming detritus.     #15 Mdoty Total Posts : 156 Reward points : 1044 Joined: 7/18/2011 Location: Duluth, MN, US Status: offline MBI: 1555 Pnts MBI Site: Lake Superior Marine Aquarium Club Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Friday, February 27, 2015 6:40 PM (permalink) IMO, good news these are L. boggessi! Why is this good news? Boggessi are a class B species so you'll get more points. Check out the tails for boggessi and rathbunae.   #16 mil3sdavis Total Posts : 37 Reward points : 81 Joined: 7/15/2014 Location: Cedarville, Ohio, US Status: offline MBI: 125 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata rathbunae Thursday, March 5, 2015 8:22 PM (permalink) Originally Posted by Mdoty IMO, good news these are L. boggessi! Why is this good news? Boggessi are a class B species so you'll get more points. Check out the tails for boggessi and rathbunae. Is there a way to change the title of this thread to reflect that these are L. bogessi?     Here are a couple pics I snapped today. They must have molted, because the eggs are now down by their pleopods.       #17 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon
