Smann Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 So I was sitting at the counter watching a movie and I turned to look at my tank and it looked like a snow storm! I started watching and it looked like the spots were swimming. I turned off the Vortechs and saw the fish were chasing after them eating them. Within a few minutes most disappeared but there a a lot in the over flow, kind of a fat head with a long skinny tail, I shined a light and the heads or ? kind of glowed Tank is completely clear now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjohnwoody Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 By what you are describing I would say your cleaner shrimp spawned. About the only cool thing mine do anymore. I have been so mad at mine always steeling food from my lps. Definitely will not be replacing mine when they die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still a bunch of the little ones in the overflow kind of caught in the water flow but swimming all around, I know they wont make it but still putting stuff back there for them to eat!

Honestly I know I overfeed but I have no worries because my cleaner pair will eat every scrap left and then steal out if the mouths of my lps. I swear if there were obese shrimp mine take the cake.

Mohaynow Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 maybe if you throw a handfull of chaeto grass back there it will increase their odds? give em something to hang on to and forage food from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bswe22 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 You need to feed them just hatched brine shrimp. The ball of chaeto is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
