....Cleaner shrimps are hermaphroditic by nature, that is they possess
both male and female sex organs (Achterkamp, 1986a). As in most
shrimps, the larger, older specimen is usually the female but if the
female dies the male will increase in size and become a female. Other
reports have indicated that a pair can switch sex at any time (see
Wilkens, (1980) in Achterkamp, 1986a). Mating occurs immediately
after the female molts. The male mounts the female and deposits his
sperm into the sperm receptacle of the female. The female can store
the sperm for several months during which time she can use it to
fertilize her eggs (Barnes 1974). The eggs of Lysmata are bright
green in color and are carried below the abdomen, between the
swimmerettes (Achterkamp 1986a; Debelius 1984). The eggs hatch at
night and the larvae become part of the plankton. After a series of
molts the larvae settle to the bottom. The problem with raising the
larvae is their extremely small size. In most cases the larvae are
too small to use rotifers as a first food. Perhaps the use of vitamin
fortified unicellular algae such as Chlorella will be the answer.
In any event, breeding these shrimp is not a problem, it is the
raising of the larvae which is the road block at the moment.
Certainly, the person who is the first to successfully raise the
larvae will have a ready market for them! A few members of our club
have already had Lysmata breed in their tanks but only one has even
thought of attempting to raise them.
