Pregnant Tiger !! :)
Hey my Shrimp Friends,
A minute ago I saw the legs of my biggest Tiger moving like my pregnant Cherry did. I took a closer look and discovered eggs in there !!! Wow !! A beginner in shrimp can get baby shrimps !!!
I've removed it to a breeder tank which contains two small bees and two small black-shelled shrimp. I'm afraid my tetra will eat the babies if I don't move it to somewhere else.
Wow !! My favorite species will produce babies soon !! I'm really cursious to know how the baby tigers will look like !! Any stripes !? Wow !!

Hi Mustafa,
It turns out that shrimp might drop their eggs if they're unhappy or too young. Their reproduction is not as simple as I thought. Well, I guess this tiger is an adult coz its body is very big. As I don't have a shrimp-only tank, will it be workable if I let her stay in the big tank longer for fertilization before I move it to the small breeder tank next time?
Thanks !

Hi Becky,
I would move the female into a separate tank next time so the hatchlings don't get eaten by the fish. Just make sure that the other tank is cycled and it should probably have tons of plants in there just in case the cycling did not quite work as expected.
