So I got 4 Marmorkrebs from the bristlenose dude about a month ago. I keep them in a 10G all their own, and last night I noticed that two of them have tails full of babies. Just wondering about once I seperate them from the others and they drop their fry, what's the best environment for the babies to be raised in? Feed them the same ground up food I feed my peacock fry?

Some pics for fun!

cool stuff. congratz

Congrats!!

very cool!
I would feed them something that sinks....I would guess that as it softens in the water they can get little bits off with their pincers.....But that's just a wild guess, I've never had any critters like them before

COngratz!!

Yes food is not a problem for these guys are scavengers
good luck !!!

I feed mine hikari shrimp cuisine and any other pellets laying around, once in awhile ill throw in a clump of plants for them, they love hair algae and moss.

Awesome, thanks everyone!

good luck with the little fellas.

Congrats!!

Mix of shrimp pellets and algae waifers. Also, put a whole bunch of rounded creak gravel in a corner for them to hide in. The adult WILL eat small ones. You might even get some tiny terricotta pots that are too small for the adults to get inside.

Have fun!
