Has anybody successfully bred ghost shrimp? could you point me to a good article describing the process of raising the babies?

Thanks
 
I would have had I completed my shrimp box, as it is the babies died of ammonia poisoning. I don't have a link to an article handy, but do a search on AltaVista for "Ghost shrimp" and you WILL find one (the site is called "Robyn's shrimp page"). Ghosts are easy to breed, and the babies will feed on normal foods provided they are crushed finely enough for them to eat. If you plan on breeding them in numbers build a shrimp box out of a tote. Use a UGF or sponge filter, but DO NOT USE ANY FORCED CURRENT. When either filter system is mature the baby shrimp will feed off the mulm, eliminating the need to add microfine foods. I hope this helps.
