Are they breeding or just berried?

If I remember right something similar happened with T-Rex.
Some else had found and named a bone a few year before...
Thankfully they did not change the T-Rex to the other name.

It was bad enough with the change from Brontosaur to Apatosaur.

Anyway back to shrimp

My camera wont give clear shots of something that small :( It is strange and cherries were holding eggs in that tank under the same conditions and the bumble bee shrimp droped her eggs there (I have more then six babies that I can see) Other then the pH beeing over 7.2 I can't tell you much, sorry. ...

Red stripes = sick?
Maybe it a Chinese zebra?

Thanks for all the replies! Just an update...the ramshorn snails found the eggs and and ate them all! I have decided to remove most of my snails (have a lot!)...I want to get a Dojo Loach (Weather Loach), so I will keep them in a different tank to feed to him/her. I hope my next posted question her...

Well after selling a female bumble that I though had droped her eggs because of my pH beeing to high.... I see to babies (2). pH is 7.2+ I bought the female as she was berries from the LSF. pH in the water is the same that I have. It was more of a "let's see what happends" thing I'm shocke...

So over 2.5 months later and all 11 are still alive and well.

I see that most of the females are saddled but no eggs as of yet...

These guys are "amano" size now, and have been for most of there time here, so how long before I get eggs?

Thanks,

I have half my population of cherries in a 18 Gal Rubber made Toad and my Ranbows in another of the same size.

The cherries are still breeding like normal.

I have mine in with neons, black neons, glow lights, peacock gobies and two dwarf plecos. They are out all the time, however my Vampires are always hiding.

Or wood or rock or singapore or bamboo or.....

Please to a search of the forum.
Reread the rules as well.

Look at the Vampire thread too.

Ah..finally Werner and Andreas came out with their book. It's been in the making for a long time. Should be a good one. Congrats Werner and Andreas! (Werner is actually a member of this forum and stops by once in a while, so he might see the congrats. :-D ) Mustafa, are you still working on a book?...

Man, alteast yours are out in the open.
Mine hid all the time, the woods are always out and about though.

Good luck with the project.
