Cleaner Shrimp Breeding

[Hminor00]

I know its been tried many times and alot have failed but I am all in on trying to take solve this puzzle. I will keep everyone updated as I go through this. My cleaner shrimp released babies last night right around 1030pm and I did not see it in time because i was expecting it the next night. I was able to catch about 4 of them using a turkey baster. I put them in a round small 5g fish tank and stuck a wood air stone in it with a red light on the outside. Came home today and it appears that all 4 are still swimming around and if i lost any so far I only lost maybe 1. I know that I have a long way to go but with everyones help we are going to solve this some how. I will keep everyone updated as I really expect to start when my other one releases babies in a couple days or so. I will have the chad Vossen fry catcher by then so wish me luck.

Update, It has been 7 days and it appears that all 4/5 babies are still swimming around. Looking good so far.
