Breeding Shrimp.

Hi,
I have a 63L at home, it's empty and I thinking to have difrent kind of shrimps in it. Have 3 filter shrimp in my bigger aquarium (112L) and I love them all! They are so cute. I thinking also to breed on shrimps, example filter shrimp, amanoshrimp and rudoplh red-nose shrimp. It will be very much plants in it. And very easy to hide in there, anyway.
Whats the basic then I breeding shrimps? And it is hard or is it very easy? I have heard its easy. I know they it dirt and algae, but can they it something als? My filter shrimps eat frozen artemia, I think.

PS. I hope U can see what I writing, I'm not so good on english (from Sweden)...sooo...

It is complicated to breed amanos but here is a quite good guide:

take a look also here:

I did not manage to breed them :/ all larvae died at 8th/9th day of life
I did not try with these two other species

From what I read on http://www.wirbellose.de nobody has had any success in breeding Atyopsis moluccensis, but try, - maybe you will be first

amanoshrimp and rudoplh red-nose shrimp.

I don't know anyone personally who has bred these. A lot of people tried, but with no success

It will be very much plants in it. And very easy to hide in there, anyway.

Depends on what kind of shrimp. The Neocaridina denticulata "Fire Red", Caridina sp. "Tiger" are rather easy to breed - generally all shrimp that have a completely suppressed type of larvae development.
Check out the "Shrimp varieties" on this page.

I know they it dirt and algae, but can they it something als? My filter shrimps eat frozen artemia, I think.

Again - check out the "Shrimp varieties" page
