Ok I am looking for some In Depth help with Randall's Pistol Shrimp breeding & Raising of the Fry. I currently Have a breeding Pair with a Cryptocentrus cinctus Yellow watchman as their gobie host..Has anyone tried or been sucsessfull In this endevor to Tank Raise Randall's Pistol Shrimp.
Any advice will be greatly welcomed. My pair have been together for almost 2 years they are in a 29 gallon tank with only 1 other Pistol shrimp gobie combination. Thank you for your time...Jeff
 
My first guess would be to make sure the "babies" don't get skimmered or filtered out. I can imagine using a fine sponge filter or an undergravel filter with an airstone gently moving the water. That's my 2 pennies worth :)
 
On the right track

Thanks for the reply aquarookie: I have removed allot of the corals in this tank and I have put a sponge over the return to reduce Loss of the fry.
I have relocated the skimmer to a sump and Small CPR refugium..so I will post any progress...Jeff
