Signs of spring

The snow is gone(yeah!!!), birds are out, grass is green, and the opae'ula are feeling frisky. Currently have three berried females and thirty larvae floating around. Go shrimp!

Awesome! Take some pics or video!

Woohoo! Is there evidence that shrimp in captivity still keep with the spring breeding season "schedule"? I keep seeing posts about "spring coming" due to berried shrimp. If so, that's very cool as Mustafa's shrimp haven't been in the wild, with spring triggers, in 14 years!

I am not sure they follow cycles, being right near the equator seasons are pretty much the same. I have had berried shrimp in December. Pictures will come as soon as I find the little cable to hook the camera to the computer. It's around here somewhere... Things have changed a little since my last post. I cleaned the glass to take pictures, and this got everybody excited. So I was able to count five berried shrimp, two of them seriously packing, and three dozen larvae in various stages of development. It has been pretty much like this for a month now. I hope they are all making it, but with my two mountains of lava rocks for the babies to hide I won't get a good count for months. With so many little ones around I am hoping for color morphs!

This is the first year I’ve noticed a spring rush. I’ve had continuous babies for the last three months. I need to go in and clean out some algae but there’s just too many floaters about.

I'm not aware of any "cycles" at all. My shrimp have larvae all year round.
