I have 6 yellow neon females with 1 male. More than a month ago, all females were berried, but I'm yet expecting to see a single shrimplet...:huh-:

Now, 4 of them are berried again. One have lost most of her eggs but 2, and another just molted with the eggs still on the shell . What makes me sad is that I can see the black eyes of shrimplets in the eggs. :blank-stare:

I have left the shell and the eggs in the tank. May be they are mature enough to hatch?

What the hell is happening to these females? They are in a shared tank. In the other comprtment, there are blue pearls, and they are breeding like rabbits.

A picture of the disaster, the molt with the eggs on it. Sorry it is not a good quality, but my phone has some problems to focus on macro...

I checked this noon. Eggs are still clear, and I can easely see the eyes of the shrimplets inside...

They may survive but you should try to dislodge them from the molt and either use an egg tumbler or try putting them in a very fine net near the bubbles from a filter so they have moving water around them- this will help keep fungus off them. Many people successfully hatch the eggs this way

Thanks garry & Ineke, I will try that.

Was afraid to move the eggs from the molt and do something wrong.

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      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.
