Eel

awesome, too bad I didnt have a mate for her, actually when I bought both of the cleaners after a while they both got the eggs.

thanks for the article, I figured they were eggs, when I get ghost shrimps I get shrimps with green eggs all the time so figured it was the same.
 
I think that many shrimp are actually hermaphrodites--they can play both roles, so any pair will be able to mutually fertilize eggs and raise them. Biggest problem is usually feeding the larval stage and preventing them from being snakcs--filter feeders as well as fish and filters.

Might be cool to try, but would require a large, subdivided setup, I think!
 
Well long story but I will make it short. I went to work at the lfs, and the eels was happy under his little hideout. My mom calls me about two hours later in a complete panic cause she couldn't find the eel and found him in the built in overflow. So I left work to rush home and save the eel. The problem is the overflow is about 10" long and 6" wide with two one inch pipes going into the tank. There was barely any room to move. Luckily the Zebra is extremely friendly and didn't mind me touching him. It took me 3 tries to get him out, the first two I got him 90% up and then he slithered through my fingers. The thrid time I finally got him and he has never tried it again. I will never forget his expression-he looked pretty pissed, he also looked totally confused as if he were saying "Where did my tank go?". I had to go back to work immediatly after but he was happy to see me when I got home and he got some fresh scallops due to the fiasco of the morning! Other than that time I get the eel in a net and corner him into a bucket then move him that way. Just thought for those of you who were curious about the ordeal.
