OMG I just saw a baby shrimp!


Garnelchen

Recommended Posts

My yellows had babies after all...well at least one!

I just found a teeny tiny baby shrimp in my tank.

I thought it was a bit of snail poo :D but it has eyes! ...and it moves.

It is so cute! *happy dance*

:applause::triumphant:

That's awesome Garnelchen, I had a suspicion they were just hidding & I say they because where there's one there will be more. :victorious: Which happy dance did you do? lol :encouragement:

Thanks Ineke It's really really exiting....especially because I thought that she had just lost the eggs some time ago and there were no baby shrimp at all.

I saw the baby shrimp again just then....I think I will name him "Snail Poo" :)

I now have discovered that Snail Poo is not an only child, I saw 2 shrimplets....so Squiggle was right once again.

They are just so hard to spot even when they are not hiding.

And there is a new berried Mama Shrimp in there too! :encouragement:

Just want to know what happy dance did you do. Can you upload pics/video of your happy dance so other members can learn?

I just discovered new yellow shrimplets, the second batch! :triumphant:

The older shrimplets from 3 weeks ago already look like giants compared to the brand new ones.

Wow! Shrimplets grow really fast! :encouragement:

I remember not so very long ago you sat staring at an empty shrimp tank wondering if you would ever get some and here you are now making your own:applause:

Awesome stuff Garny, they do breed like rabbits so you will get a population explosion, so definitely time for more tanks, lol :encouragement:

Yes all yellow, just not yours for some reason, hahaha :victorious: it really is a head scratcher why yours aren't prolific breeders, hopefully with the injection of new blood in the tank it will kick them off :encouragement:
