84 degrees F.

UPDATE: I now have had my first berried female give birth! There are 7 newly hatched that I can see in my tank and perhaps a few more hidden. This is a exciting day for me and it was about 20 days from berry to birth. I will indeed pay attention to survival rate as well and let you know how it goes....

My findings behavior wise are the same as yours and these are very shy shrimp and stay hidden through the day. I really hope they will breed for me. The other two odd species are ...

4 in berry now folks..... I will share info and pics as things progress. Hard to get photos as bio-film covers front, back, and sides and I do not want to disturb the tank now that things are so stable...gun shy if you will

Fun stuff to a shrimp nerd eh?
