So, what happened to the larvae? Did they finally turn into a bunch of little shrimp or did they mostly disappear (which can happen in relatively new tanks)?

Omg I've been away for far too long. :smt005

My tanks are going great! As of now, there might be around 144 new "members" since August last year! Yes... I keep track of the newborns haha!
I think there are 2 berried right now at this moment. They're #14 and #15 berried shrimp since initial setup. Some might be repeated females.
Most larva released was 23.
I update my Instagram account once in awhile about my shrimps - http://www.instagram.com/opaeula :D

I would say my tanks are stable now. I feed only 1 or 2 tiny pellets a week. Sometimes 2 weeks. I treat it as special snacks for them. Hey we all love variety in what we eat right? Haha! Cheers!
