I usually don't like to discourage anyone from trying their hand at captive propagation of reef animals as I feel it is the way of the future but here's the problem;

Commercial aquaculture facilities and research facilities have not even been successful at raising them yet. UT's Marine science institute have done peppermint shrimp and now ORA does them commercially. UT has also done fire shrimp (with only moderate success) and is currently working on the cleaner shrimp but so far have not been successful.

Truth is, no one really knows how to raise these guys yet. They have an EXTREMELY long larval duration (50+ days for fire shrimp) and very high mortality rates. I suggest for anyone that seriously wants to try their hand at raising shrimp... try the peppermints. They seem to be the easiest and most hardy.

For the average aquarist, the most benefit you will get from a breeding pair of shrimp is some nice coral food every 10-14 days ;)
