Congratualtions.
If your temporature is 76-78 degree, you can expect to see baby shrimps in 16-18 days.

Congrats, just a little while longer and you get to enjoy the shrimplets. Please keep up the good maintainance and they should be fine.
Great job!

Well it appears she's dropped almost half of the eggs.
This is her first lot so maybe it was a practice run? What are the chances that she will hold onto the remaining eggs?
I've never had a shrimp drop eggs before so I haven't a clue.....do the other shrimp eat the discarded eggs?
Maybe I should try to find another male or two?

Chances are if she drops some, she'll drop them all. I'd be looking for another male or two if she drops the next batch.

I bought four more cherries today (well hubby treated me, thanks hubby)....hopefully there's a male amongst them.
She still holding onto about five eggs......she will probably drop them during the night tonight.
