GreenCircleGirl Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I purchased 6 multifasciotus (shellies) about 5 months ago. I see 2 smaller (females?) and 3 larger ones regularly. There might still be 6, since they are shy and quick to dart into the shells. PH is 8.0. I would like to start a colony. Can I get them to breed with frozen and prepared foods? Or must I hatch out baby brine? I’ve never done this and am dragging my feet. It’s a 20 long and I don’t turn the light on much to keep the algae down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Zenzo Posted June 13, 2022 Administrators Share Posted June 13, 2022 Baby brine can help, but not needed. I have bred hundred of multis using primarily crushed up flake food (Xtreme Krill Flakes). The trick is to make sure that you have enough food in there for the babies that you may not be able to see.

GreenCircleGirl Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 How many times per day should I feed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolstoy21 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I fed mine once in the morning and once in the evening. Also agree with the live BBS not being necessary, but definitely helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
