Not much. They are fairly undemanding creatures.

Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right. -

FW ghost shrimp have palegic fry which means they have a larvae planktonic stage for about a week or so which makes them extremely hard to raise.
Out of the entire batch of eggs, you might only have a few survive to adulthood, which is typically better than most aquarists get. To increase survival rate you have to turn off all filters to prevent them from getting sucked in. On top of that you need to have greenwater (phytoplankton) in your tank for the larvae to feed on before they grow into little shrimplets at 1-2 weeks.
Good luck!Last edited by nacra99; 05-11-2009, 09:11 PM.Comment
