So a while ago I put my shrimp in the nano alone with a pistol
Considering that I had him in my main tank with the other fire shrimp
As soon as I sold the black widow anemones
I saw a large clump of white stuff in my tank
Thinking the worst, I am greeted with this

Wow. That's so cool. Never knew it was possible in reefers tank. Congrats.

When I had fire shrimp, one of them was almost always carrying eggs (same for my cleaners later). My impression was they go through a series of larval stages before settling, and that it’s difficult to have them survive in an aquarium. If possible, I‘d try to save some of those and see how they grow - tank raised fire shrimp would be awesome!

Been considering trying to do it for a little bit here. I agree it would be awesome!
