Whats This?

[Nemo1]

Came off a frag plug, Just wondering is this is something good or bad?

 

[Crabs McJones]

Shrimp larve possibly

 

[Nemo1]

Is it possible to keep it in a little Tupperware and feed it phyto/pods? If it is a shrimp

 

[DeniseAndy]

Shrimp. Could not tell you what kind. I would put in the sump if you have one.

 

[Crabs McJones]

I would add it to the sump. A tupperware won't work long term.

 

[Nemo1]

I don’t really have a sump, i have an all in one and a 13.5g evo
Would a Tupperware work until it got a bit bigger for the 13.5g?
have no experience with larvae and seen it and thought it would be good to try and get the experience

 

[Crabs McJones]

Is there a chamber in the evo you can put him in? Problem with a tubberware is there is no temp control, no gas exchange to keep the water oxygenated and PH elevated. And with evaporation that does occur your salinity will rise.

 

[Nemo1]

There’s space in the back of the evo if that’s what you mean but it’ll be lost down in the back?
I have a small breeding box I could float in the tank if that’s any better? Sorry I don’t know much

 

[Crabs McJones]

breeding box would be perfect assuming he can't fit through the holes

 

[Nemo1]

I’m not sure the holes are small but maybe not small enough, could I put anything in there to stop him getting out? A sponge on the bottom or something like that?

Sure, that should work.

I believe this is a live Mysis shrimp

 

[Billy's Reefs]

This is awesome just make sure he gets enough flow and food

 

[Nemo1]

Is it even worth keeping one mysis shrimp, I’ll keep it for now incase it’s not, but from a google search the photos do like quite similar
