Hey guys, just wanted to announce, my female shrimp has finally given birth and i now have alot of babys :D
there in a 2ft tank with tank mates of 4x bristlenose pleco, no bigger then 4mm... fry i brought off a friend :)
the tank itself has a footprint of 2ftx1ft. and 1ft high.
i started off with 6 adult RCS.

anyways so excited :D the shrimp here are rarely ever found in my local stores, had to order over the internet to get them.

edit: Pics, of what i believe was the pregnant female.

One of the easier shrimp to breed and imho very rewarding to keep. Good job on getting them to breed...although you might be sorry lol!
In 45 days time the babies you have now will be having babies. And let us not forget the original adults aren't just going to stop having more babies.:WHOA:
