Life span of Caridina cf. babaulti....

Post by Kenshin »

Mustafa or anyone,

Do you happen to know the life span of the green shrimps, Caridina cf. babaulti? I am just curious since I have several of them right now. And guess what? They are breeding in my tank already. I observed one of my green shrimps carrying green eggs yesterday. :-D I am so happy!!!!
Also, I finally saw one tiny little baby shrimplet of the RCS. :-D I am pretty sure that there is more of them hiding within the plants (but that one decided to climb up and pick on algae instead). So I guess my raising shrimps efforts finally is paying off. :lol: About time :lol:
I will let you guys know if I see more shrimplets and hopefully green shrimplets also. I promise to take some pictures also when I have a chance. Thank you.


P.S. The bumblebee shrimps are doing alright - no signs of breeding yet.

Hi Kenshin, sorry no, I don't know the lifespan.

Just wanted to give you the thumbs up that your shrimpin' efforts are finally starting to pay off! I'm happy to hear you have RCS shrimplets now. :) And you have green eggs? That's neat! Good to hear you've got some remaining BB's doing all right too. Appreciated the update.

I'm glad it's working out with the green shrimp. :) They should live somewhere between 2-3 years on average.
