eggs!
I saw a peppermint shrimp molt so I grabbed the flashlight and started checking bodies... lookit what I saw! So, now how long before we have baby shrimp? I read that they like to release the babies in the night when it's dark. I just wish I could keep them and raise them up a bit for seahorse food, although even in the main tank they'll be seahorse food, right?

Cool pic!! If they do hatch then its only a matter of time before they get sucked up and then skimmed out.

I sure would like to see them tho and try to capture them with the macro lens! How long before they hatch? Do they stay attached to the adult and hatch right off of "her" body, or does she release them and they hatch all over the tank?

Cool!
I always thought that any spawning is a sign of a happy/well taken care of tank.

They will likely end up as food to your other inhabitants before you see any of them - sorry....
They can be reared in captivity - Aquazoa here on the board has had success in breeding them - search his posts and you may find some info.
Cheers,
Jenn

She will release eggs at night that you will see float away, your other inhabitants will promptly gobble them up. When I had 2 camel shrimp (lost 1), one of them always had a clutch of eggs, and would release them nightly w/ her front legs. I would watch as the fish would run around and feed on them. I agree it's a sign of a healthy and stable system. Nice job, and a good pic too!!
