Thanks guys! I want to post videos but obviously it’s too big. Might have to post on YouTube and link it. Here’s some more. These are from work. You can actually some in and see the snail’s eye. Lol

Thanks! Unfortunately one of the berried shrimps lost a majority of her eggs. She’s down to 5 eggs left. I actually just saw her loose 2 more with my own eyes. =( The other one still looks to be intact. On a side note I was able to take a picture of the egg with my jewelry magnifying glass. Holy crap it’s tiny!

Congratulations Nellyville41!
quick question, where did you buy your lava rock?
Thank you!

Thanks. I bought it on eBay but it was a bag shipped from Lowe’s. You can also get it at Home Depot. They’re basic lava rocks that you can use for fire pits.

So one of the pregnant females lost all of her berries. This one still has a decent amount. Here’s an upclose and you can see the eyeballs inside the eggs.

Got 2 more berried females in my tank at home. Here’s a pic of one of them. The larvae turned into juveniles but I can’t account for all 13 of them. Only see like 2. Hopefully they’re hiding away somewhere. The tank at work hatched this past week as well. There’s 10 larvae in that one. Doubled the population in that thank. Lol
