Well i think it has finally happened for me, found a couple of my CRS berried which i got from Squiggle recently.  I am not counting my chickens before they hatch, so no big celebrations yet.  One has been berried for about a week and a half, the other only 2 days.  Do CRS carry for the same time as cherries or do they have a longer gestation time. Am keeping everything crossed and hoping to see bubs soon. : SHOUT :  :thumbsu::biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Have a read of this sticky ...

 

http://shrimpkeepersforum.com/forum/index.php/topic/4403-temperature-effects-on-shrimp-eggs-hatching-gender-of-shrimplets/

 

Gestation times depend on the temperature of the water.

That sticky delves into discussions about how cooler or warmer temps can influence the sexes of the shrimplets as well, which you might find interesting.

Thanks for the info Jayc, good read i must say.

 

I think the parent stock may have something to do with this happening, thanks Jay.

 

Ineke ,the day i find little red and white shrimplets swimming in my tank there will be huge cellebrations, you will probably hear me from your house.

Is this the first time you will be a shrimp daddy?

If it is, get some champagne!!!! 

 

(we need a spraying champagne smilie, but this will do for now)  :beerhat:

 

I still remember screaming "Baby shrimp!!" when I got my first.

Think i am going crosseyed looking for these tiny little shrimpies, plenty of moss in this tank for them to hide amongst. Sure to see more as they grow and start to play more in the open water.

Congratulations, glad they are finally here. Don't forget to do some spot lighting after lights out you usually see more once the lights are out, use a torch and check out the moss.

If you think you are blubbering now, wait till the shrimplets appear. Still remember my first batch, and the excitement doesn't really wear off for the next few batches either.

Congratulations! Another couple of days and they'll be easier to see.

Once you find them, remember the SKF mantra, pics or it didn't happen!

But for the first few days its more staring time than photo time.

The excitement never fades when finding shrimplets, congrats, congrats, congrats!!!

After so many try's at these dam CRS and finally cracking it, there now seems to be new shrimp appearing everyday.   The first hatchlings have grown to 1cm and over already, also i have spotted the occasional golden bee mixed in as well.

 

Congrats! I just saw my very first berried CRS yesterday. Let the waiting begins. :-)

Well done jc12, good things come to those who patiently wait, wont be long now to see the bubs.

Its fun watching for them isnt it! i have about 30+ baby shrimplets about 2-3 weeks old in my tank atm with a couple more girls berried.

I noticed 2 moults in the tank today and the boys going crazy so i segregated my last favourites into my aquamanta box.

 

I havent had so many shrimplets before so am glad to have swapped over to R/O Water :D

Great stuff guys! It's so exciting seeing babies in the tank. I've been seeing a couple of tiny blue babies from my Mixed Mischling, Tibee TB tank. I put them into different grow out tanks for hopeful insurance that at least 1 survives. Now I sit staring trying to see them again. Today I saw both of them and managed to get pictures of one - will try and get it onto the computer tomorrow . Nearly 2 years now and I'm still loving it!

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
