Thanks for the info.

I have at least 2 Females out of 12 , and they are both developing saddles.

I am trying to take a picture a day of my first female, that developed a saddle. And trying to keep records .

Have a Great Day

Thanks for the update, John. :) Looks like you'll be seeing eggs pretty soon.

Just one request. Can you make your pictures smaller next time before posting them in the forum? A width of 800 pixels or 640 pixels is perfect. Otherwise it stretches the forum so it becomes too wide to read comfortably without scrolling back and forth all the time. Thanks. :)

Hi John,

You can still post your pictures here in this thread in their current size until you figure out how to edit them. No problem. :)

How Long have you had your Snowballs ?

They seem to grow very quickly.

I now have 3 females carry eggs.

I am just waiting for the young , of the first female to start showing up around the tank.

Have a Great Day.

Newjohn,

Probaby close to a month or more now. I have 4 right now developing their eggs in their ovaries. One is about to start carrying eggs soon. I will update everyone when they start to carry eggs. Great pictures. That looks like at least 50+ eggs in that happy Snowball shrimp mother of yours Newjohn. Congratulations again.

Sounds like you have a good start.

My first female droped her first babies, a couple of days ago.
I am just waiting for the little shrimp to start showing themselves.

Sorry to hear , about the lack of shrimp in Egland.

There are not many pet stores around here that carry Shrimp.

I hope, that will change.
But, we can only hope.

Have A Great Day

Hello everyone,
One of my Snowball shrimp is finally carrying eggs in her swimming legs. :-D I thought she would be doing that in the next two days, but when I woke up this morning, she already had the eggs in her swimming legs. A lot of eggs and so beautiful.
I have 4 or 5 more females still developing their saddles. I will update more when I see something new. Thank you. :-D
