Update, cleaner shrimp larvae 24 hours old, man they are tiny and hard to photograph!, the other larvae are 7 days old, as well as my cleaner shrimp is holding eggs again!!! So 20 days or so and more larvae to continue to try. Right now I have added some cleaner larvae to the 10 gallon with peppermints, some to the 2 gallon with peppermints, and some I. There own 1 gallon, I also left a few in the trap to see if they would survive in there as well... I figure if I mess one up, I may not of killed them all at once.....
Here are some picture of my shrimp tank and corals in there... Just a shout out to Archit from Love the Reef, met him today, got the awesome pink SPS, don't know what it is but it's beautiful, great store and very nice!

I meant to say my other cleaner is holding eggs, not the same one..

Update, four peppermint shrimps in the tank are holding eggs, Both cleaners are now holding eggs, But...... It looks like I have two baby tanks of brine shrimp growing well,.. . And the others disappeared... And the third baby tank only has a few left.... Looks like I hit the tough part! Hopefully these last few keep going and when the new ones hatch I may not do the brine shrimp?!?
I'm not giving up...

Round 6, another batch of cleaner and peppermints released eggs last night, I am able to get to three weeks, then the gone. Today I'm going to try to construct something that stays in the tank to hold the larvae, maybe the water quality will stay more stable. I haven't given up but it is discouraging, I found the little jar of baby brine shrimp, you keep it refrigerated, the larvae go straight for it! I'm going to have to pick up more, so if anyone knows where they sell it let me know...
