Terrie Lee Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 The largest of my cherry shrimp females is holding eggs! At least I think so. Under her tail is a mass of yellowish lumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 how big are cherry shrimp when they have their first batch of eggs? How long after you notice them holding eggs, till they hatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Lee Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 The female mentioned above is about an inch long. I think this might be her first batch. This is the first time I have ever kept them so I have no idea how long they hold the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Ok keep me posted as this is also the first time I have had them Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Cherry shrimp get to be about 1.5" long. I've seen females holding eggs at about 1/2 size, and I guess it takes a couple weeks for them to hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I asked a question about how long they hold awhile ago and I think the answer I got was about 28days. Congrats on the eggs :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
