Hi Kenneth, since I already have them hosted, here they are: RCS shrimplet minutes after it was born. The head still looks like an egg! Except now, with an unfurled tail: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/ZeroCatgravity/Shrimp%20-%20RCS/15RCS393600WC.jpg 2 day old RC Shrimplet already hard at w...

Hi Dreamspirit, I've never sold shrimp so am not qualified to answer, but unless someones who has comes in, I'll try an educated guess. I would supposed it would depend on the kind of shrimp. Let's say for Cherries, probably at about the 1.5 - 2.5 month mark. I think though that it would be more the...

TKD, are you referring to lack of eggs in the saddle area or on the swimmerettes? It seems like you've had them long enough by now for them to have a yellow saddle. Just to make sure, I got the impression you were pretty sure they are Cherries? I've broken the process into phases: Phase 1 - A maturi...

And I'm still curious about if female cherries will produce eggs even if a male is not around. (Not fertilized of course). Hi TKD, well I always knew I was too wordy, but now officially know it's to the point that people just block me out ... :oops: :-D Don't worry, I'm used to it. Here's a selecti...

Hi Mintysma, welcome to the forum. :) Shrimp can molt for both good and bad reasons. The good is when they shed their exoskeleton to make room for their new, growing self. The bad is they can sometimes molt as a reaction to toxins or stress caused by things such as poor water quality, poor living co...

Thanks Eric, trying my best with the shrimp, as we all are, though it's sometimes a struggle! :o Opopanax, I'll try and add some auxiliary comments and if anything's pertinent for you, great. And wow, you've got a nicely colored female there! :) 1.) For now, if using the onboard (on the camera) flas...

Welcome aboard Eric! Really nice to have your expertise here. :) Opopanax, looking forward to seeing some of your shrimp :) . In case you don't have an indirect flash set up right now, using a tripod or a stable surface should especially help. Those things are not always convenient when you want to ...

Used - In this 20 gal, I have Tahitian Moon Sand. The good is that it is a little more course than the regular sand I was using, so it's less compacting. In fact, the texture is really nice. The minus is that it's not completely black - it has little flecks of white and also, reddish and other color...

Hi Used, Bamboo are a wonderful shrimp! Sometimes they are underappreciated or made fun of :( . I can understand that they take getting used to for some, but it's unfortunate when they miss their good qualities. I think of them as gentle giants that are very graceful - even amazing-looking when they...

They seem to be eating something off of the driftwood, but what is bothering me is that they ignore any other food i put in the tank. Hi Phoenix, if it helps any to say this, my RCS initially ignored all commercial food. Mine apparently had plenty of algae to eat and preferred to stick with that. I...

Hi everyone, it's been about 4 or 5 months since originally posting this thread; hope you won't mind my updating their current situation. I must say, RCS multiply fast! After the 5th batch of shrimplets (resulting in about 125 shrimplets total), I had to do something since I was starting to run out ...
