I bought a Peppermint shrimp for my Nano tank to help control a few aiptasia anemones I've spotted. During my two hours of acclimation. I've seen my peppermint shrimp shoot out hundreds of babies. They all became a good meal to my purple fire fish and polyps hehe.

Haha lucky fish, did you consider throwing them in a separate tank to try and raise them? It'll be interesting to see if there are any lucky/bamf survivors, survival of the fittest.

Sweet. I have two peps in my tank, and both are carrying eggs. I'm really hoping a few of the fry survive and make it to maturity... I could use them to get my aiptasia under control.
