Thank you for those wonderful shrimp.
Got my 30 shrimps at the end of February 2020, after cycling a 3gal for about 3 month.
Shortly after, I saw some berried females.
Now I can see tiny little ones and more berried ones. I have not fed them at all.

Here are some pics.

Definitely looking good. My shrimp go gang busters this time of year with berried females all over the place.

Looks good! Lots of shrimp and nooks and crannies for them to explore in the lava rock.

Are they consuming all of the pellets you're giving them, or is there any left behind after a few hours? You may already know this, but I've learned that unconsumed food pellets start to decompose pretty quickly and can spike ammonia levels, so it's a good idea to remove anything left behind after a short time.
