Hi

I am currently attempting to breed amano shrimp. A little video from my Amano larvae:

They are 6 days old now.

And here is another about mating

Nice videos. The second video does not show mating, however. Male riding on the back of the female (and an unmolted, happily picking one at that) is nothing more than just "playing around." Mating only happens "belly to belly" right after the female molts (and not happily picking around but just sitting there kind of stressed out).

Do me a favor and search the forum (and articles, especially FAQ) for more information on mating. There is lots of info as it has been discussed many times before.

Hi

I'm happy... I have now about 20 baby shrimp and about 200 Larva. They are 28 days old

What water conditions are making zoes? I have loads of eggs, but no zoes. They hold them for about a month, then eat them.
