no experience but if you have fish in the tank they will most likely become food

When I had pepperments they released all the time. The fish and corals went nuts

My peppermints in our back tank have eggs that hatch and the babies survive without doing anything special. there are no fish to eat them in there and I feed micro foods to the whole system.

We use Rod'd food and cyclopee but baby brine shrimp and marine snow are probably good
