    So I was at my desk working last night and saw my clown FREAKING out. It looked like it was about to jump. So I looked in my tank and there were a tons of baby sexy shrimps everywhere! So, apparently, my sexy shrimp had babies. Luckily I took a pic of it when it was pregnant so you guys can see how it looks pregnant. I heard the babies are nearly impossible to raise, but if they manage to survive, I'll be feeding my tank daily with phyto and doing partial water changes. :)

    Here's the pic:

    I'll include this in my next update for the EcoPico Build along with a few other interesting things that happened, so you guys can stay tuned. lol

    I had 2 cleaner shrimp that got pregnant pretty often, but I never bothered to raise them. I plan to get a few of these sexy shrimp for my next tank.

    Try raising some artemia in a 5 gallon bucket, along with some pods to feed them.
