I read that the bigger the tank, the less chance of larva survive because they cannot find the food. People keep recommending I isolate the females in a 2g or 3g tank so there is no different with the 10g in this case, IMO. I am also removing and replacing 1 gallon of water a day so that should be e...

I don't understand what you mean. This 10g filled with 3 gallons is going to be the nursery for the larva when they hatch. In this 10g, there are 2 berried female ghost shrimp, a bunch of hornwort, and that's it. The other 10g is where the other ghost shrimp and mollie fry are. BTW, I will be sure t...

Haven't hatched yet, but I just found yet another berried female in the 10g. Both are now in a newly set up 10g just filled up with 3 gallons of water and has a good bunch of floating hornwort for larvae and shrimp. http://img482.imageshack.us/img482/2555/dsc08149cx6.jpg http://img180.imageshack.us/...

Thank you for the replies. I spawn bettas as a hobbies so I have plenty of golden pearls and bbs for them to chow on. Is 100 microns too small or just right?

Ghost Shrimp Pregnancy

Hi. I would like to know if my female Ghost Shrimp is carrying fertile or sterile eggs. There are about 5 other ghost shrimp in the tank so there should be at least 1 male if not more. I think Ghost Shrimp only carry eggs once they've spawned. However, somebody told me they can carry eggs even if th...
