Thank you for answer Mustafa.
I have only 10 adults, and only 2 females was carrying. So I have only 1 (2) batch.
Mentioned times aren´t my observed times, but times I found on web (some seahorse forum).
Mine are floating for 15days now. Temp ca. 76f

edit: They started to metamorphose,

Well,
I answer myself
I found larvae lasts 24-27days at 22-23C.
If we count 38days to hatch... it is quite long development.

Hi,
should I ask how long larvae stage lasts? I read in Mustafa article "few days", but my float 10 days
Is it normal?

Nitrate 0 is not sign of uncycled tank If ammonia is higher than 0, than it should be sigh of it, but 0 values really not.
If you have so little shrimps in so "big" bowl, they can't starve of food.
Problem will be elsewhere. maybe something fall to watter, some poisons?

should I ask a question or two? How did you drill holes to rocks? I'm afraid of metal residuals from driller in rocks (I found it contain some heavy metals). Second, Is there some freshwater plant which can live in 1.012-1.015 salinity? I would like a bit green in tank. Something small, not a few me...

I'm not sure, if you know, you have to use marine salt {for marine tanks} not kitchen salt.

I advice eliminate this shrimps, it could be disease I also had. Be as be, don't let shrimps to eat dead bodies it can spread in tank.

I had same (as I can recognize from picture). only way is to separate infected shrimps. It's really lethal and highly infective.
Buy maybe am I wrong. Photoshoped picture is not good to identify disease.

I found this: http://www.shrimpnow.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=46
some of those blue pearls has white dots o sides. I have it too in tank. but shrimps to well and have no problems.
p.s: this is other "thing" I described in previous post.

Damn, I dont know if I have same disease, but the results are fatal. Diease starts with white dot at place where "ass" is. Then white dots in flesh occurs. As time goes whole body should be almost white. Some shrimps have only milky bodies. In all cases all ill animals dies. all shrimps in...

There is more shrimps named "Batic bee".
Those I see on other forum are different from that mentioned by JK.

yea, I have some purple cherries too. but at least mine aren't stable. some offspring of purples is red and via versa.

Yesterday I bought these shrimps. Labeled as C. sp Tiger. Do you have some suggestions what they should be? http://www.akva.sk/phpBB2/album_pic.php?pic_id=16087 http://www.akva.sk/phpBB2/album_pic.php?pic_id=16086 http://www.akva.sk/phpBB2/album_pic.php?pic_id=16090 http://www.akva.sk/phpBB2/album_p...

Hallo all,
do you know about tolerance to NO3 of Malaya shrimp and it's larvas?
And also how sensitive Babaulties are?
I want try them, but my tap water has 40mg/l and I have a bit more in tanks.
will they handle it?

I would like to ask. what to do, to breed them? Mat they by together? More adults in same tank? What about youngs?
And at last Can they be in same tank with dwarf shrimps? (Cherry). I saw some pictures where they were together...
thanx
