Here are some exact numbers FROM MY TANK for those who are keeping mishlings and would like to know how MY mishlings breed.

I had a mishling get berried on 04/04/13.

From MY EXPERIENCE in roughly 23 degree water it takes exactly 26 days.

This in turn would mean ill have shrimplets on the 30/04/13 which is in 2 days.

Today is the 28/04/13 and the eggs have developed colour which weren't displayed yesterday. Most noticeable egg colour i can see is blue as compared to yellow of a normal crs/cbs/mishling.

IN MY EXPERIENCE it takes 24 days in 23 degree water for eggs to develop their colour.

Don't you think it other factors would play part as well? Like the strength of mama and diet, wp, etc? As some of mishling girls dropped sooner than others in the same tank. So I say there is no such thing as exact numbers or days.

Why would any other factor but temperature affect the development of an egg? Its a self contained organism with no internal connection to the mother. It depends on external factors but i would think that temperature is the most major factor. Could Hardness, pH or tds affect egg development? whos to say. This is more of a log entry for me. Im tracking a few other berried mishlings at the moment and keep updating with my results.

Final summation it takes 24 days in 23 degree water for eggs to develop their colour.

Pics to prove (uploading)

If it is a log for yourself then what is with the previous quotes? I'm just saying from my Mish girls that it is not always the case, thats all. It is a self contained organism but it still relies on the mum to fan it etc...If not fungus and dies.

Well in that case my numbers are wrong and i made up the dates and temperatures. What i wrote above is purely fictional and is not intended to be taken seriously.

Three lower eggs that are darker then the rest are blue. Sorry for the bad drawing.

I don't understand did I say something to offend you? All I did was ask a question and say that some of my girls developed and dropped quicker than others that's all, if that offended you I apologise.

Although I have only had one batch of mischling bubs, my experience is similar to Roberts. 23 deg water, berried for 27 days, eggs became coloured like above pic approx 3 days before hatching.

Similar but not exact, this is what I was trying to say. In my exp there is no exact numbers, days when it comes to shrimp.

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I would hazard a guess that perhaps those eggs were unfertilized and thereby unviable? Did the eggs change colour, usually yellow to grey as the yolks used up, or any eyes in the eggs. Is your water ok, using RO remineralised and the parameters in range, as I have heard others say that if the water isn't good it can 'force' a molt? How is it going overall, do you have a good size colony in the tank, you may have reached 'maximum occupancy' as a tank can only support so many occupants.

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      Hello folks,  The current problem I am having is that my Taiwan bee shrimp are molting before all their eggs have hatched.  Often the shrimp keep the eggs for 40+ days.  During that time, they lose about half or so, either due to dropping or duds or whatever.  Shortly before molting they look to have about a dozen left, and then they molt with about half a dozen eggs still on the shell.  Then the other shirmp will come and eat the shell.  These last few times, I have been getting around 0-3 surviving babies per batch.  I figure I can make the eggs hatch faster by raising the water temperature more (currently around 68F, which is already a few degrees higher than I used to keep it) or make the shrimp grow slower by feeding them less (protein).  Currently I feed Shrimp King complete every other day, and also a small dab of Shrimp Fit alternating days.  Maybe I can start alternating with more vegetable food like mulberry?  or just decrease the amount of food?

      Shrimp and meds containing gentian violet

      By ngoomie · Posted

      Yeah, cancer risk was a thing I'd seen mentioned a lot when looking into gentian violet briefly. I kinda just figured it might only be as bad as the cancer risk of malachite green as well, but maybe I should look into it more. I've been doing a pretty good job of not getting it on my skin and also avoiding dunking my unprotected hands into the tank water while treating my fish at least, though. Maybe I'll just not use it once I'm done this course of medication anyways, because I know a store I can sometimes get to that's pretty distant carries both malachite green and methylene blue, and in pretty large quantities.

      Shrimp and meds containing gentian violet

      Can't help you with Gentian Violet, sorry. It is banned in Australia violet for potential toxicity, and even possible cancer risks. I thought it was banned in Canada as well. At least, you now know why there isn't much info on gentian violet medication and it's use. But keep an eye on the snails after a week. If it affects the snails, it might not kill them immediately. So keep checking for up to a week. Much safer options out there. No point risking your own life over unsafe products.

      Shrimp and meds containing gentian violet

      By ngoomie · Posted

      Hello! I have a tank that currently does not contain shrimp, but does contain neon tetras which I am currently treating for Ich, as well as some bladder snails. Shrimp will be a later addition, likely cherry shrimp but I'm still doing research just to be sure. Initially I'd intended to buy some sort of Ich-fighting product that contains malachite green after doing a decent bit of research on it, most of which indicated that it should be shrimp-safe so I'd be good if I ever needed to use it again once shrimp were actually introduced (though I should note I'm aware shrimp can't get Ich, I'm more wondering in case the tetras could get Ich again, or something else that responds to similar medication). I ended up not being able to find any MG-containing products without either having to travel quite far or wait multiple days for delivery (which I was worried could lead the Ich to be fatal), and ended up picking up 'Top Fin Ick Remedy', a product that contains gentian violet which is a triarylmethane dye like malachite green. The bottle has two slightly differently worded warnings about its use with invertebrates ("not recommended for" and "not safe for" respectively), but when I'd been researching malachite green, I'd also heard of products that contain MG but not any other ingredients that would be harmful to inverts still being branded with warnings that they could be harmful, just as a "just-in-case" since the manufacturer didn't test it on any inverts, and I'm wondering if maybe it could be a similar situation here. I'm having a very very hard time finding information about gentian violet's use in fishkeeping at all though, it seems currently extremely uncommon. What I will say though is that I'm on day 2 of treating my tetras with it, and the bladder snails seem just fine -- in fact today I noticed what looked to be a bladder snail that appeared to be newly hatched (because of its size) that I hadn't seen before that was zipping around the tank without issue. But obviously, shrimp are not snails, and bladder snails are also notoriously hardy little guys, so what I'm seeing right now could easily be totally inapplicable to cherry shrimp. It might even be inapplicable to other species of snails, for all I know. Has anyone else here ever used anything that contains gentian violet in a tank that actually does contain shrimp? Were they okay, or should I make sure to not use it once shrimp are added?
