I only see my peppermint shrimp at night with a flashlight,
Last night I was looking around my tank with the flashlight and I see 4 shrimp in a group and 1 off by it’s self well the 1 by it’s self got scared and darted around and released it fry.
I didn’t even know they were there, cool.
But know there in my sump caught in my chaeto, will they live?

Thanks
Terry

to date it has not been easy to keep the shrimp fry alive, even in breeding setups. i would not count on them surviving.

Coral/fish food.

Again, most have failed in attempts to breed/raise the fry. So, look to the possitive, your corals are getting some of the most natural food.
