Dispose of Shrimp Babies

[FatAbott]

So here I guess is the problem. I have these shrimps in my tank and they just had babies and they are very small all on the front of the glass. But besides the point, is there any type of fish like a mandrian or would a tang eat them or what, but I just don't want a gagillion shrimps in my tank after they start to develop. Any advice would be great.

Thanks Brian

I bet my wrasse would munch those to pieces!!

Don't get a mandarin to fix that problem. What do you have in your tank now, and how big is it?

I have a 75 gallon and just the shrimp are in it. Lost all the fish and what not from the hurricane.

Sorry to hear about the loss of fish from a hurricane. I had the same thing happen to me during charley. What i would do with those shrimp is let them grow then sell back to your LFS. I know my LFS would buy back stuff like that.

First off, I am sorry for your loss. Can I suggest considering a wrasse like Gwen suggested? Six Lines are beautiful, fun to watch, and inexpensive. And they would love the shrimp

Well these are not the kind of shrimp that everybody is thinking of these are saltwater fishing shrimp so after the hurricane i just want to get some in their you know to keep things going and what not but it is amazing how all the live rock lived and everything. Or another good idea is to just let them grow take them out chop the heads off and coook them too
