I WISH i could get a picture but after playing some COD a little late i decided to see if the clowns had found the sabae.. Much to my surprise and unknowing the peppermints must have laid eggs, they hatched tonight.. I shined the flashlight into the tank and saw hundreds of Tiny clear shrimps.. all i can make out is 3 tiny white dots on the tails.. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D !!! if only i had a way to raise 200 shrimp.

I will add that we have had nighttime excursions to see tank life after hours and this is a first! They are Definitely shrimpies!
I HAD to tag this here found on Marcs' (melev) page... exactly what i am seeing in the tank.. Darn you Point and shoot!

Breeding and Propagation: Relative Breeding Ease: Difficult
Peppermint Shrimp are hermaphroditic and may spawn when kept in groups. Any pair of two shrimp may produce fertile eggs. Usually, mating occurs after one shrimp molts. The newly molted shrimp will receive sperm from its mate, which it uses to fertilize any eggs it produces. The eggs are green in color, and are densely packed below the parent's abdomen. Once they are visible, many people prefer to move the Peppermint Shrimp to a spawning tank. The parent aerates the eggs by waving its pleopods to move water over them. As the eggs mature, they become paler in color and expand until they are no longer packed in rows, but in one aggregate group. After 14 to 20 days, the Peppermint Shrimp eggs begin to turn silver. This usually occurs the day that they will hatch. Also, the parent usually will not eat the day that the eggs will hatch. The adult will position itself in a gentle water current to aid the eggs in hatching. Hatching normally occurs one half to three hours after darkness falls, and the newly hatched Peppermint Shrimp swim directly toward any light source. Some clutches require two nights to hatch entirely. Directly after hatching its eggs, adult Peppermint Shrimp normally molt. The spawn normally require about 40 days to develop into adults. The tank where the newly hatched Peppermint Shrimp are kept should not be filtered, because it may damage the shrimp. An aerating device on a low setting is often used. Newly hatched brine shrimp are used to feed the Peppermint Shrimp, and there should be quite a few present, since newly hatched Peppermint Shrimp are unable to hunt well. However, there should not be enough brine shrimp present so as to pollute the unfiltered tank water. Every other day, you may use a small suction tube to clean the bottom of the tank. However, care should be taken not to suck up any Peppermint Shrimp.
