Welcome!

 

Well done on the Brine Shrimp, they are the bane of my existance, I just can't get them to hatch at all, the 4 times I have tried.

I think it will turn out that you will have one dominant male male which breeds and if any other males are there they won't breed as the dominant will want all the females for himself haha
