	Ghost shrimp babies
peterprawn Small Fry Posts: 5 Kudos: 4 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Mar-2005	My female ghost shrimp just gave me a couple dozen (maybe more) lil shrimp babies!!. If any one has any advice on raising these lil dudes, I'm open ears. I have them on some liquify right now. They seen pretty energetic. They are tiny!! but they seem to be coming along well. Thanks for any advice given.

They are like adult ghost shrimp in that they will eat most kinds of food. They are somewhat hardy, and small water changes will benefit them. The biggest trouble with raising ghost shrimp is that the babies often turn up in tanks with fish, who promptly eat them. Hope that helps, and welcome to the site! And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
