These are so pretty. Toxic but great to look at lol. The article says they eat copepods I wonder if they might eat opae too? Fascinating. It looks very happy and healthy. I like it!

Does the tank have any algae? Do you still feed them? Maybe there's bio mass build up that's affecting them transitioning to their next stage? You've have the tank for a while now. Maybe if the next group fail to thrive do a 50% water change?... hold out on feeding until the tank is looking clear of...

Re: Have 8-year Old Ecosystem Shrimp - Not sure what to do

They are omnivore. In most cases, from what I've read, they tend to live happily as herbivores. But i was thinking in a case of an opae tank with little to no extra food they might be eating them. Just a thought.

Re: Have 8-year Old Ecosystem Shrimp - Not sure what to do

Hi do you think you might have a copepod or similar hiding in the substrate eating the babies?
