This book gives details on how to set up a spawning tank and encourage your shrimp pair to become romantically involved. You can learn how to build a larvae collector so that even if your shrimp are producing eggs within your reef tank system, you can gather the babies without disturbing your aquarium. The larvae collector can even be used to collect larvae from other species too!
You’ll get details on larval requirements, from how to house them to how to feed them, as well as descriptions of their various stages and behaviors. There’s even a troubleshooting chart to help you work through and eliminate problems, before they get out of control. There are also some notes on commercial propagation.
Yes, there’s even a chapter on training your homegrown shrimp. You can train shrimp, but only if they are in a tank by themselves. An active community tank tends to make shrimp shy. Most fish like to eat any shrimp -- yes, even “cleaner” shrimp -- who are silly enough to dance upside-down on the water surface...
