Congrats. I would love to get one or two to try but just can't bring myself to spend the money. Do you know what species they are .

Oh very cool!

 

[CRW Reefer]

Wow now that is cool!!! Did you bread those? If so congrats that is a feat!!!!

 

[REEFKEEPER10]

Now the fun part. Feeding them. Everything I have read says they are eating machines that only eat live food at first. So wish that was me. Lol. Great job either way. Love me some cuddles.

Very cool. Did you buy the eggs or do you have cuddles that mated?
Hope you got plenty of food ready I hear they eat like none stop if allowed..

YAY:attention::roll:

We received 18 eggs and 18 babies about a week old. The live food doesn't seem to be a problem they love the adult brine . My problem is keeping the live food alive long enough for them to eat it. Were putting in frozen mysis with the adult brine hoping they will start to take that.

Posat up some system pics if you get time. I think the overall layout would be helpful to others. Keep us posted

Congrats on the babies, very cool indeed

 

[intricate_reefer]

That's just awesome

Adult brine shrimp like super salty water so if they are dyeing in a holding tank you might want to check into that. Maybe a little research on the exact salinity.

congrats!!! :bigsmile:

 

[brent&kitty420]

They are just in a net breeder with day cycle lights and at night they get red LEDs salinity at about .025

Very cool. I tried to hatch a few eggs once but they didn't make it. When I get the time, I think I will try again as these things are so cool. Following along.....
