Breeding Shrimp

I was thinking about breeding tiger shrimp, but, obviously, I don't know how. Could you all be a wee bit kind and tell me? Thanks a quadrillion!!!

Are you referring to freshwater or marine tiger shrimp? Because you get both going by that common name. If fresh water and you are referring to Caridina sp. "Tiger" - they actually breed fairly easily in the right conditions. One of the main "magic ingredients" being almond leaves.

There is lots around if you search on the web, but if you browse around this guy's website (www.theteh.com), he has some awesome photos of his tiger shrimp breeding and some video's as well.

Edit: they need a species tank to breed. Even the smallest of fish (especially Endlers!) will eat the tiger shrimp babies I'm afraid.

To my knowledge - yes. Though that's from what I've read. I have not bred them myself.
