Heres my 10 gallon tank set up with my cherry shrimp. I started with about 35 shrimp about 3 weeks ago. I have 2 females holding eggs right now. Theres a few others that have the gold stripe on their backs ready to breed :naughty:. I noticed on one of the females the eggs have black dots in them, I guess these are baby shrimp eyes, which means they will hatch soon :headbang2.


I spotted 2 newly born babies, they are so small, I put my finger up for comparison so you can see just how small one of them is. Can babies be born a bit apart? Cause I have only spotted 2 babies. I also covered my filter intake with pantyhose, some of the shrimp like to hang out there and pick stuff off. The shrimp are feeders for my catfish mostly and maybe my GT will get some too. Well, heres the pics:
