This is a photo of my heavily pregnant cleaner shrimp. She has been holding the eggs for a while now (maybe 10-14days).


As far as trying to raise them, cleaner shrimp are very difficult. It would be better to let the shrimp release and eggs so you fish can have a nutritious feed.

If you decide to try and raise it there is a good post by Luis A M (i think) on here who has been trying to raise them for 10yrs.
