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:

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

Thanks for the links. But I'm unsure on this idea know. I have read about this in many articles now. But i love shrimps so it's gonna be many shrimps there anyway.

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

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

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.

Again - check out the "Shrimp varieties" page

Thanks, Jackie.
Yes I have look on Shrimps Varieties many times.
Ooohh, is it SO hard to bread on filter shrimp...Maybe I be the first
Maybe it be fishes and shrimps instead...Shrimps just for fun.
