OldCanuk Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Can anyone tell me how fast baby Red Cherry Shrimp grow? I have had babies in the tank from the second day I introduced them 2 weeks ago but have so many now at different sizes I don't know how big the first batch should be by now??

jewels Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 It is tough to quantify. How long does the grass grow ? There is much that could play in. Quality, quantity and frequency of feeding may be the foremost factor. Temp. may figure in there as well. I think it is something you will develop " a feel for " I can usually tell if a shrimp was born within the last 48 hours, any longer and they start to darken. That photo I previously commented on shows a young shrimp around three times the size of the day olds, yet he is barely a week old. When you look at it that way, it happens pretty fast.
