The first batch of babies (for this year) are floating upside down. Not sure why they all hang out on the left side of the tank. Probably coincidence. Video taken on Apr 24th 2018.

Hello, I'm just curious; how often do you feed them the spirulina tablet and do you remove it after a certain length of time or just leave it in there because the whole thing gets consumed? I feed them spirulina just few times a year. I only feed when there are low/less algae on the glass. Otherwis...

I have been feeding them with Spirulina lately. They love it. I am using the Pure Hawaiian Spirulina 500mg 400 tablets which is for human consumption. You might be able to find a lower count tablets. The Spirulina made for human consumption is cleaner and better quality. I think it is better for the...

Another video taken on Oct 20th 2017. They are feeding on spirulina. Later part of the video, you can see a shrimp picking algae on the glass using their tiny fingers. Amazing tiny fingers or claws. Another shrimp eating on a transparent shrimp shell. The shrimp shell are the result of shrimp moltin...

They should have hatched by now...any more updates/pictures/videos? Yes. All the eggs from the 1st pregnant shrimp have already hatched. Since then, 2 more shrimps have went through their pregnancy and all the eggs have also already hatched. Right now, 4th female is pregnant. Her belly is full of e...

Thanks for the video! You show the berried shrimp clearly and hopefully it'll help me identify mine when they become pregnant as well. I bought mine this past March so Im hoping it's still early. Already got a couple baby snails though. Also thanks for the detailed water conditions and sources. You...

One of my Opae Ula is pregnant. I spotted the eggs on 5/26/2017. She has about 10 eggs (or more) under her belly. She should be already several weeks pregnant before I spotted the eggs. I have about 14 opae ula in a 5 gallon tank but I only fill up the water half full. I started my tank on July 2016...
