raising peppermint fry

[NanoNewbie]

Anyone in Sacramento area experienced in raising peppermint shrimp fry?
My shrimp keep hatching fry every month or so and thought maybe someone could take them to raise

Where are you in Sacramento? I'm in Antelope.

I live on Marconi Ave near Fulton Ave, couple blocks east of Fulton.

Next time you hatch a few, I'll take a shot at it, if you don't mind.

dang just had some hatch yesterday but now they are all gone. Sucked up the overflow lol. e-mail me your phone number and if i can siphon them up in to a container i give you a call

just so you know, peppermint fry are one of the more difficult marine fry to raise. There is a book out there, How to Raise and Train your Peppermint Shrimp that goes into it in some detail.

Better off doing clowns. They are much easier

Hey Nano,

Sorry didn't get back to you sooner, work is busy.

I read up on raising Peppermint fry, and like Clown said, it sounds pretty futile. And I don't have another tank to use as a nursery, so I won't waste your time.

Thanks for the offer though.

No problemo Pez, I know it is very difficult to raise them but I have read of people doing it. It is too much work for me that's for sure.
