Are you sure they are Japonica? From what I've read, they are *VERY* hard to
breed, and require major care to raise. Do a google search on breeding these
puppies and you'll see what I mean.
    On the other hand, my ghost shrnp breed almost as easy as danios, still
tough to raise to adulthood, though I've gotten a couple good batches.
