I know nothing about these shrimp, however I found this on the Internet about Candy Striped
Cleaner Shrimp that may help:
I put up a post a while ago, asking how to breed candy striped cleaner
shrimp (A yellowish shrimp with two red lines bordering a white stripe
extending across its back). I had noticed the shrimp I had was ripe with white
eggs. I read that the shrimp was hermaphroditic, so I put another similar
sized cleaner shrimp in with it hoping they would mate. Within a week, the
first shrimp was carrying green (fertilized) eggs. The next week, it seemed
to be scattering the eggs around the tank. In this time, the other shrimp had
also developed a sack of eggs. A week later, last night, hundreds of 5mm (and
smaller) transparent shrimp were swimming around the tank. The larger shrimp
had similar body forms to the parents. I didn't collect any of the young this
time, but I am thinking of setting up a small rearing tank soon since the
parent shrimp look ready again.
That's all I have!
