Hi is it in on its own or have you a pair of Boxers, if not they wont be fertile so dont waste your time putting them in a tank. Leave them for the fish to eat as its good food for them. HTH Twiggy:icon_lol::icon_lol:

Hi are they a pair or are they never together, if a true pair they will be together all the time. If they were bought together and not as a pair you might have 2 females as if you had males they would fight. HTH Twiggy:icon_lol::icon_lol:

if they are together they will be a pair as they will kill each other if not, google breeding peppermint shrimps (follow same method) as it can be done although success is low. Larvae are usually taken up with inhabitants and skimming etc.
