pat Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I got some shrimps last year (Nov'ish). I can see the female carrying but have yet to see any baby shrimp. I am assuming that the baby may be too small to see/find as the tank is heavily planted. Just wondering how long do I have to wait before I can see millions of baby. What is people's experience. 10G, planted. 10 shrimps, snails, no fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is people's experience. 10G, planted. 10 shrimps, snails, no fish. I got some shrimp a couple of weeks ago and moved them last weekend. They were in a heavily planted tank and I could not believe how many little ones there were. They are really good at hiding in the plants so hopefully you have some!! Try moving some of the leaves around. Let us know!! Edited January 9, 2009 by fishclubgirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 You should probably start to see small shrimp in the tank in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Baby shrimp are very hard to see, but you should start to see some soon. Congrats on them breeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 If the tank is heavily planted you probably won't see the babies until they get a bit larger. Baby shrimp are super tiny. Congrats on the shrimp! Soon you will have more then you know what to do with. I use mine as feeders I have so many now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
