I haven't posted recently, things have been quiet on the shrimp front.
But at least two of my shrimp are berried now. I'm going to be a grandpa!
Berries!

Re: Berries!
Congratulations on your berried shrimp! They must be happy shrimp or they would not reproduce as they have. Also, that macro algae has really grown!

Thanks! I plan on starting another tank for my office, so I'll cut that macro algae in half and use it to jump start the new tank.jcfrank922 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 6:12 pm Congratulations on your berried shrimp!

How Long did it take for your macro algae to get that large?SSpiffyShrimp wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2017 7:00 pmThanks!

Re: Berries!
It was put in the tank in mid-January.
And news! The population in the tank has more than doubled with both berried moms having had their hatch. Lots of little, tiny babies! If I can manage any decent photos, I'll post them.

Re: Berries!
Wow that is a lot of eggs! I wonder what the clutch size (that's not the right term for shrimp is it?) is a function of. I've seen such wide variation from just 4 up to almost 30.
Re: Berries!
So where are the photos?
Also..Oople...it can vary...30 is kinda unusual but 8-15 is probably about average.
