Hi all,
I happen to have 2 CRS with eggs. One is laden with about approximately 25 eggs, the other only with about two eggs. May I noe why is that so?
I have read one of the earlier treads that for tiger shrimp, the unfertilized eggs will be "dropped". So does that apply to CRS as well? That means for my the other shrimp, only two eggs are fertilized. Also do the mother shrimp "lay" all the eggs at once? Or over a period of say 2 days or so?
Cant wait to see my mini baby CRS shrimps!!
Thanks!

Mother CRS could drop eggs when stressed, lookout for fungued eggs in tank.
25 eggs per female is abit on the low side.
Re: Question abt CRS eggs
Hi,
25 eggs is my rough estimate. I really hope it's much more that 25 eggs . by the way, what's the normal number of eggs the mother shrimp would carry? May i ask what's the duration between laying and hatching of the eggs? Will other shrimps eat it thinking that the egss are food?
Thanks!

Not only in your country but i think everywhere as well! About a month and a half ago, i bought 5 pcs for RM200.00 (USD53.00) and at that time it was damn tiny, something like 8mm or so, and i am glad to note that it is about 20mm or so now and i've managed to achieve 100% survival rate I think it is quite hardy, well at least i my case, and they dont seem to touch anything that i feed them! They will only eat from the mosses, i wonder why is that?beckypyyeung wrote:I wonder if it's very difficult to keep Crystal Red coz it's very expensive in my country.
