Maybe I'm misreading the quote, but I don't see copulation or even impregnation. I really wasn't looking for a war over sematics though.

That said, I humbly resign from the forum and leave it for the experts. I know it's no big loss, but whatever.

Good lord.... I never said they were actually copulating. I do know that this piggy-backing is part of the mating ritual, and not the actual impregnation.

I was just trying to share something I've never seen with these shrimp. If you have, more power to you. I wish I could have seen more kinds of ...

I'm sorry for wasting your time. I thought it would be nice to share some of the vampire's behavior.

I'm still trying to figure out when it was that my female released her eggs from the previous time, but that's another story.

I actually managed to catch my vampires mating. I had a feeling that they might since the female was on the opposite side of the tank than she usually stays. It was an ...

There's a fairly strong current in the tank. It's a 55 gallon with an undergravel filter and powerheads on the tubes at opposite ends of the tank and a hang on back filter as well.

I found another picture where she must have been adjusting her swimmerettes. It shows the egg mass a little better, although I'm starting to wish I had a better camera.

I plan on documenting everything during the process. If nothing else, it would give me a better idea of what to do or not do the ...

Not that Mustafa's post was necessarily meant for me, but I thought I would share a couple of pictures of the female. It's really difficult to get a good look at the eggs. It wasn't until she propped herself against the front glass that I was able to get a look at her underside and see the eggs ...

Thanks for the replies and welcomes!

I have an extra 10 gallon tank that I was planning on setting up as soon as I gathered enough information about what the conditions should be like. Considering cycling and all of that, I guess I really shouldn't put that off too much longer. I actually have ...

I've recently discovered that one of my two vampire shrimp is a female who has become sexually mature. She is now carrying eggs, and I've been trying to find any kind of information as to what all is involved in raising the young.

I have seen some good articles relating to amano breeding, but I ...
