Baby Shrimp

Post by Malikta »

I found a mama with just one egg, she had been hiding out, not sure if she dropped the others before or only produced one.

I saw her with it for a couple of weeks and then no egg and all my shrimp were accounted for so I was certain she lost it. A couple weeks later I found this little baby floating around. It must have just been so tiny that I did notice it hatch 😍

Nice! Congrats on the baby! And don’t worry. The next time around she should be able to hold her berries better

Awesome! The great thing about these shrimp is that even one egg eventually hatches and a baby runs around somewhere, even if you don't see it. :)
