Hello,

I have what I believe to be Amano Shrimp. A female was gravid and the eggs hatched a day ago. I left the zoes in the hatching tank for a day with light airation and heater while I prepared a full salinity 33/34 ppm growing tank for the zoes. Until this morning many zoes died as I believe ...

Thanks!

When they take a benthic form what do you feed them? Liquified fry food or crashed pellets?

How many times a day must you feed when in benthic form and how many when they are larvae?

How long will it take for the larvae to take a benthic form?

They have just hatched ......

They are in my aged tank but the female has still alot of eggs under ger belly.

1. Should I remove her now or wait untill all eggs have hatched?

2. I have some daphnia,should I put them in the tank with the larvae?

3. How long will it take for the larvae to take a ...

Then do u suggest getting another tank? How big whould it be? Will I need lights or are the room lights sufficient?

What about if a get a breeding net and place the pregnant shrimp in there and let the fry grow there, in the net in the original tank?

What if a take a big glass jar and fill it with water and have nothing else in it. Then place it on my window for the sunlight to hit it directly and with some extra nutriends some algae should start growing on the jar. When the eggs are about to hatch then I could change the filthy water, place the ...

I bought them in the UK.
