Well a couple days ago I noticed there were eggs in my cleaner shrimp. Really a cool sight to see. They hatched last night and were little red dots swimming all over the place. The lights were out so the fish were all "sleeping" but the coral banded shrimp saw the opportunity for a feast. He was sitting where they were released, picking them off one by one.

Hopefully some survive, but I have heard it is a long shot to get any to live without a dedicated system. I don't have the time or room for that so it's a fish/shrimp feast I guess this time around. If any survive, anyone want to be in line for a free captive bred Fargo Cleaner Shrimp?
 
That's cool. I had that happen. Saw fish eating something one night. They were little red things. None of mine survived but good luck with yours.
