I was looking in the breeders area for info on cleaner shrimp. Apparently they are extremely difficult to breed in captivity. AFAIK the only shrimp breed in captivity on a commercial level are peppermints.
In the case of cleaner shrimp, I believe they are very common, and are not harvested commercially, so I doubt that the numbers taken for the aquarium industry are doing any damage to the wild population.
