welcome to Reefcentral and the breeders forum.
You asked a great question, and one that can be answered in 300pages of text. Infact I can recommend start by doing a search here in this forum (the search buttom is at the top of the page and under every forum). The search command should be the start of every question, then once you've got a few ideas down you can restrict your question to one that is more efficiently addressed.

Thats said, we have discussed peppermint shrimp here and there are a bunch of threads on breeding ornamental shrimp. i highly recommend you read thru them. Many of the Q? you asked will be answered.
I hope you enjoy reefcentral, its a great resource, and i have been blessed by having a number of advanced hobbyists thru some hard-working professional marine aquaculturists onboard all of whom contribute their knowledge freely.
Thanks again

April Kirkendoll's "How to Raise and Train Your Peppermint Shrimp" would be a good book to start with as well.
You can also search RC without using the search function (I've found it's rather invaluable to use since the server is quite busy):
Go to www.google.com
Type in your search followed by "site:reefcentral.com" without the quotations.
For example, type in: "breeding lysmata site:reefcentral.com"

Hey tmays,
Good luck with your rearing efforts. Before getting a job that took me away from home for months at at time and wreaking havoc on my aquarium hobby, I did a LOT of research into breeding Lysmata amboinensis. If you did search this forum you might have found this in a post of mine from two years ago but I'll throw it up just the same because its "light reading" that I found useful. I hope the links are current . . . Again, good luck!

rous just wondering where did you get your 30 day numbers from???
I delayed responding because I wanted to have a look thru my notes and I took some time just now to do so. I dont note any major dieoff anywhere near 30 days, I have a few explained dieoffs at 20 days (lack of ME feeding) and a few unexplained around 60, for the general numbers I never had much problems getting them into the 110 day range, thats usually where I lost mine. it was a downhill spiral from there. though the count was always declining, the 60 and 110 +/- 10 ranges are where i lost what i'd call most.
