Pregnant shrimp in a empty tank

[Jakepen]

So my peppermint shrimp, definitely has a lot of eggs under its legs. My only concern is I don't have anything in the tank other than a small CUC. If the eggs hatch, will my tank become overrun with shrimp?

They've got planktonic larval stage, during which either your corals will likely get them or your filter will . . .

~Bruce, who has seen larval baby shrimp drifting through his system - but never a juvenile.

Alright. I don't have any coral though, so going to rely all on my filter I suppose.

 

[rbtwo4]

nope they will be filter food

There is honestly zero chance you'll be overrun with shrimp. Raising them is not that easy, even when you have the setup and are actively trying to breed them.
