Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Lysmata ternatensis are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Lysmata ternatensis, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Lysmata ternatensis, try breeding yourself.
