Peppermint w/ eggs

[blader123]

Hi new to the hobby and new here. I have been surfing here for about a month and love all the info.

I have a 12g Nano Cube w/ 15 lb LR and 20 lb LS.

I have 2 peppermints and noticed today that 1 has what looks like eggs under its belly.


What do I do to try to raise these potential larvae?

Thanks, Anthony

:welcome to the board!
What all is in the tank with the shrimp? Any fish or other inverts? It is possible to raise peppermint shrimp in the home aquarium. I would try to get a copy of "How to Raise and Train Your Peppermint Shrimp" by April Kirkendoll. The book is not real long but is loaded with great information about raising shrimp in your aquarium.

You may have a few make it that way but if you want to raise them then I would read the book I mentioned. Alternatively you could just allow them to hatch out and take their chances, the corals and other tank inhabitants really appreciate the fresh food when they hatch out.
