rcs birth process

teacher · Post by **teacher** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 5:11 am

Has any one moved a berried female to a seperate tank with the same tank water and litte cover to watch the birth process? I am curious to see it happen so that I know what to look for. My breeding tank is doing good. I've begun to see @ 10 shrimpletts @ 1/8-1/4 in in size swimming but I would lke to see them earlier just once so I know what to look for when they are born. Any ideas would be great!

Happy Thanksgiving,

Teacher

You should have no trouble doing this. These shrimp are very hardy.

Just make sure to change the water very regularly in a small tank.

The smallest ones you are seeing are the size they start out at.

What Yucca said is right. I hope you are able to see the process clearly. Remember that the eggs hatch after they have been carried for at least 3 weeks.

You can also use one of those clear plastic floating breeding containers to watch the process in the same breeding tank
