Those mommas got a loooooot of eggs. Shows how few Opae Ula have...

i guess it is very common for other shrimp species to have larvae released in the ocean.

I maybe found a clue for you MB breeders in the pdf. Has anyone tried to increase the salinity within 3 or so days to open sea levels (~1.025)? Maybe in combination with a decrease in temps.

You could or have it at full salinity from the get go.

We haven’t discuss cooler temps I think. The ocean near the pool could be a little cooler though.

Yeah it might make a difference!

I had tried full sea salinity twice...once with sea water and another time with aquarium salt mix........ they didn’t survive any longer than the higher saline water

What was the highest salinity you used again?

When I mixed aquarium salt, I used 1.026. I didn’t measure the sea water I got from my fish supplier friend since...it’s sea water..lol
