How Do Shrimp Do the Nasty?

I could set up a small tank as marine and put her in the 2.5g until the eggs hatch.
I've got brine shrimp food - that's mostly yeast. I've got pearls, but they are 500-800 micron.
Sorry, thinking out loud. I'm probably going to have to wait on this since I'll have to order some smaller sized food and stuff.
Hrm hrm.

My ghost babies hatch and go through an abbreviated larval stage in which they need microfoods so I've got GP 50-100microns and freeze-dried rotifers. I've also got some infusoria going too. I'd assume that those type of foods would work with amano babies, too, but I've never even attempted to breed amanos because I'm intimidated by anything saltwater related. :dive: Oh, don't put her in the saltwater, the eggs won't hatch. Let them hatch in freshwater and put them (the babies)into the saltwater within a couple of days of hatching. You're supposed to be able to plop them in immediately without acclimating them. Make sure you read the articles because I think that you have to reacclimate them to freshwater after they turn into subadults or something. I also read that the babies like diatoms.
Larissa,

I meant that I would put her in the 2.5g until the eggs hatch, then move the hatchlings into a 2.5g marine tank.
Basic SW really isn't complicated. Just a royal PITA getting the salt mixed properly. Just IME and IMO

LOL I teach Art, so I get them all, all mixed in in my classes. If ya don't think THAT's a looney bin!!! Try 30 kids, 9-12 grade, and maybe half do their work!!! But the snake thing stopped them all cold!!! And yup, when they asked me about a stallion--chins dropped. I've seen grown men cry!!
Ya, Roan, I'd love them to see the mare get teased. The stallion on the farm I live on, a Tennessee Walker (oh, yes, and daddy to my new baby and my 3yo) is a real lover. OH--and they asked how long they did it!!! A couple of the kids knew. More chin-dropping!! I was laughing my butt off!!!
Then I told them they had "horse condoms"---you could have heard a pin drop. "How come? Why would they need them? What are they for?" Then I got to teach a lesson on fertility problems and in vitro for humans, and how horses and dogs and cattle and other high-pedigreed, highly desireable animals can "breed" across the country or around the world. Remember, alot of these kids have never left Burlington (NC), and get most of their information from TV-they may have cable, but no internet!! ROFLMAO!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Gotcha. Sounds good. Keep us posted on how it goes, I'm really starting to get into the shrimp. I forgot to mention that I've also got artemia food and am using that as well.
Wow, reminds me of my navy days (no topic was inapropriate. Ten months on a ship will do that to ya)....never mind.
I remember once in 7th grade we watched a movie and elephants were mating in it. Needless to say a bunch of 7th graders were not mature enough to handle that.
