Spawning Randall's Shrimp Gobies

[tarpons]

Does anyone have any experience with breeding/raising Randall's shrimp gobies?

I have a pair in a 45 gal tank with a Randall's Pistol Shrimp & a Japanese pistol shrimp. I have had one of the gobies about 9 months and the other about 6 months. This past week I've noted one of the pair looking quite plump in the middle. Now its obvious she is very gravid.

I am seeking any input anyone can give me on how to perhaps raise the fry if possible. I suspect with no advance preparation, this first spawning may be lost, but it would be cool if I could raise future batches.

Thanks,
Candy

No experience, but I'll move this to the main discussion forum where you're more likely to get feedback on this sort of question...

i have tried raising other shrimps, cleaners and peppermints, but it is tough. they always make eggs that hatch but you need to remove the larvae and feed them the right size foods at differnt stages as they grow. i read this to help but still was not successful http://www.reefsuk.org/articles/captive ... shrimp.php
