Gotta tell ya, these guys are aquatic roaches! Lol!

You'll have billions before you know it!

Congrats, Phil!

I knew you could do it!

These guys are no way near as delicate as other shrimp, that's for sure!

Soon you'll find another berried female, then soon after that a never ending supply of larvae!

I feed my opae ula daily... A very small amount of finely ground TetraColor flakes. Enough gets to the bottom of the tanks for the hermits. The opae ula in these tanks have lived happy and healthy lives for over 18 months. Breeding like crazy, too.

It's been ages since I dropped in. I still have a few hermits in a couple of my Opae Ula tanks. I feed these tanks DAILY, a very small portion of finely ground, nearly powdered TetraColor flaked fish food. The opae ula gather upside down under the waters surface, grab a morsel of food, then swim off...

BTW... Absolutely nothing is happening in my "accepted setup". I occasionally see a shrimp or two, the MTS are always out eating like they are in my other tanks. The chaeto grows well. It's my experience that my tanks that are fed, get water changes and have at least minimal water movement...

Promise not to tell, Jill?

Small daily feedings.

A small HOB filter that provides water movement.

Macro algae and live rock.

Occasional water changes.

Hi Harry,

How's the lighting in your tank?

A bit of food is good for the shrimp and the macroalgae.

Someone gave birth in my original Bookshelf tank today. At least 15 larvae are doing the head down bop this evening...

Yup, an entire thread I started back in January is missing.

Thanks, Jill.

(In my Sexy Shrimp tank. A Tailspot Blenny, with it's comical face.)

A couple berried opae... Here's one of them from this morning...

As I've posted elsewhere, I have live rock in two of my Opae Ula tanks. After eight months it appears to have been a good thing. The shrimp have been breeding successfully and are constantly very active in these tanks.

Hi Mustafa,

I just checked. Specific gravity is currently 1.012 at about 72 degrees f.

Using an old fashioned bobbing hydrometer.
