i have been keeping these guys for well over a year now. I have them in a 29g with some amanos and tylo snails. I have had tons and tons of berried females, but the survival rate of hte young is slow. I just figured out why, I caught an amano noshing on one. Pulled out the amanos to another tank and found another berried female today. Fingers crossed the survival rate is higher for the young now:

it could be partly my fault, I don't feed most of my shirmp tanks adn the amanos in that tank were well over 2 years old. I moved them in with the discus. Keep in mind too, adult spinata are .5" so they are very teeny.

They look fantastic! Good luck breeding them. Do you have any cardinals? Those have been my favorite sulawesi shrimp. But they are still pretty hard to come across. Harlequin Shrimp as also really neat!
