Free fish food!
That’s cool. I have a pair of fire shrimp and am always wondering if they’ll reproduce but I don’t know how I’d ever know. I’m sure they’d get gobbled up as soon as they hatched
That’s really cool. Too bad you couldn’t separate them and raise a few. Then I could buy one from you!
You could separate them but I wonder what they eat? Depending on where you are, I'd be more than happy to grab a few (if we could catch them) and add them to my coral QT. There are no predators in there and it's an established system with algae, live rock and all that other good stuff.
Did you find any mature peppermint shrimp?
My peppermint shrimp babies hatched last night. I regularly feed my tank baby brine shrimp, which is a good source of food for the young peppermint shrimp. Let’s see if I end up with any adults or just yummy fish food!
Not my actual tank photo, but this is what they looked like.

This seems to be a well regarded book on the subject, possibly cheaper on ebay.
It is interesting that the babies can be raised on a single food source, baby brine shrimp. A quick article scan seemed to indicate that enrichment before feeding would be beneficial also.
