They’re great! Active but calm. I already spotted 2 berried shrimp. That’s light speed for me. Considering I waited 1.5 year and 1 year for the first berried shrimp in two other tanks. Hopefully I get a good pic soon. :mrgreen:

That IS light speed! It does help that almost all the shrimp females that I am sending out seem to be pretty much ready to carry eggs judging by their super full "saddles"/ovaries. :) It is the season....

So far I counted 4 berried shrimp already. The first larvae are being released over a few days. It's amazing! :mrgreen:

Did most of the larvae survive and turn in to little shrimp? :)

It looks great! Just this week I’ve given in to the itch to start my third tank as well.
