So one of my big ghost shrimp gave birth last night, I had her in a home made breeder box (yougurt container) with some plant bits for the babies to hide in and munch on. This moring I had 30 or so baby shrimp, all swimming around near the surface. Now it's 2 PM and every single one of them is dead... what could possibly have happened??

Was there any water circulation in the breeder box? Maybe they died from a lack of water movement?

Can that kill them? I didnt know! I'll probably just let them spawn in the tank next time, that has some very light flow.

Most likely die off from not enough food source. Did you have any plants in the breeder box?

Some sprigs of water whisteria, a big lump of java moss, and some powderised OmegaOne flake... I don't think they starved

A picture of the homemade breeder box would help.

It was just a yougurt container with tiny holes poked in it... plus the plants, they were tpo small for a store bought breeder box
