I just got in 4 new cleaners since the ones in my display didn't make it through a dino infestation...or they are being eaten. Anyway, two came in with full egg loads. I put one of those in the fuge, and one in the QT.
Noticed today many larvae in the QT. I promptly shut down the skimmer, powerheads, and HOB filter. Put in an air stone one low. I know that this morning the QT temp. was at about 84F.
I have been dosing small mounts of phyto and plan to do water changes through a seive. If I have any luck at all, I will be sure to post. SInce most of my reading has shown that it is extremely rare for them to make it to adulthood, I do not have false hopes.
I have been lucky before though! I take it that it is recommended that I remove the adult shrimp? It appears to be minding its own business in one corner of the tank so far. The larvae are swimming around and appear to be interested in the phyto.
