Hello everyone. I’m new to the forum and fell in love with with the Opae Ula shrimp a little more than a month ago. I have about 25 of them in a 2 gallon cookie jar. Last week I purchased 7 metabetaeus lohena and they are in a 1 gallon cookie jar, neither tank has a filter, light or heater and they all are doing great. Today I noticed that the metabetaeus were running all over the tank and then I saw a molt, so I’m thinking that they were trying to mate or something. I’m hoping they breed and I will have some babies, I know they don’t usually live for more than a week but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
