Breeding ghost shrimp

DarkFin · January 18th, 2009

I have bred invertabraes before, once i get a decent amount, I take them out and I let them dry out and I turn them into cubes for fish. I have raised these in dechlorinated water, and the temp. was around 70. I want to do the same with ghost shrimp, is there anything special I need to know about them?

Ghost shrimp seem a bit difficult to breed. I wanted to breed them for my puffers but decided it wasn't worth it. If you google it you can find quite a few sites detailing how to do this.

They go through a planktonic stage in their life, during which they need a marine environment. It is somewhat difficult to get them from the breeding tank to the marine tank, as they are very small and difficult to see, not to mention the fact that the parents are not above eating the babies.
