Emerald crab babies! Freaking awesome!!!

[Armando]

Just caught my emerald crab releasing lots of babies! I rescued most of them. Any information on raising them in captivity?

Seperate, low flow tank, green water, rotifers and then they probably still won't make it.

very cool. good luck with trying to raise them.

Armando ,you seem to be able to breed anything

 

[One Eye]

Yes he can! He's got a pet goatboy at home too.

Hey!

They were born funny looking and with tails! Kind of just like you!

Just kidding. It was too easy. As Peter would say: "freakin' sweet" Good luck trying to raise them. You must have excellent conditions in your system to get so many things to breed. And worse comes to worse, if they breed again, its just a free lunch for the fish,

Darren's comment is right on. Come to my talk Sat. and I may have some ideas for you. Looks like you already have rotifiers going, I'd start with that.
