CA2OR Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I have closed my other thread to get more specific. I wish you could actually just edit the titles of threads to avoid having to make a new one. I have a couple corals I am willing to trade to get a cleaner shrimp that is carrying eggs, mostly so I know that they will do it in my tank is the only reason I want one that already has some. I have a SMALL and I mean small green slimer frag I am only getting rid of it because I want to use it's location for something else, about 1 inch SPS frag which is under debate on whether on what it is. It is between stylo and something that reminds me of porcupine (starts with a p), and might throw in Zoa frag or birdsnest or something else. I would like the same kind of cleaner as this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Shrimp doesn't have to be the same but I do want them to get along. I don't know if asking for current eggs is too much, I just want one that carries eggs. Mine hasn't since I have had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadReefer Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Match the shape on the tail and you will have the same species of cleaner shrimp and if you put two together they should both get eggs. It takes two to get eggs and they will both have them. They are hermaphrodites so it is possible for one to have eggs by its self but it is rare.

CA2OR Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 ok....so change in request. Will trade corals for another cleaner shrimp of the same kind. Better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 lol....I wish. I actually was thinking of starting something kinda business oriented but not involving tanks or even breeding for money, on a different angle. In Cali it just started taking off right before I left. I actually want this one in hopes of providing a natural food source in my tank. Being that mine wont do it, but apparently you need 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 i would just check LFS when the shipments come in. find one with eggs on them. that is what i do, simple as that. if they bring in 20 there are bound to be 5+ that are carrying eggs.

Krux Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Not sure if you are still looking to work on shrimp, but if you dont have a copy of THIS you may want to look for a copy. I am gearing up to work on shrimp myself. If you want more information, let me know and i will send you some links 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 a copy of what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 oh...I never explained what they were doing in CA with them...DOH!. I was starting to find small tanks filled with cleanershrimp in the places my wife would go to get their nails done. The store would clean their hands, then allow the cleaner shrimp to...well...I guess give manicures. It was crazy, but the women were loving it. Bet the shrimp were happy too. This is what I was thinking about, till I realized I don't know anything else about nails and hair. So I just want a egg carrier to go with my current assumed to be male in hopes of natural food. Probably wont work, so I will just have 2 for my wife to play with. YES, she does let "Pepe" give her manicures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 FYI, the nail places were starting to get a lot of attention and business for this "all natural" method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Well no I hadn't seen that. But it seems the cleaner shrimp is a better idea. Try it sometime, or get your wife\gf to. I am telling you my wife loves it, her friends, once they are brave enough, love it too. FYI, if you don't like hearing things like "it is so wierd" or "it feels so wierd" or "they are so cute" then don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
