Pregnant Cherry Shrimp Death (Save the Eggs?)
Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2004 10:19 am
When I brought her home on 9/1/01:
She is the only loss so far out of 10 total. She was fine last night. She was the largest shrimp that I have. Maybe the oldest, too.
The developing eggs are at a stage where I can see the eyes, etc. I've removed them from the body, placed them in netting near the cannister outflow (for aeration) . . . we'll see if they survive.
Any luck in doing this?
Water Parameters, FYI:
3-week-old setup. No fish--just snails, plants, and what I think are tiny planaria or nematodes.
Ammonia = 0
Nitrite = 0
PH = 7.2
KH = 6
CO2 = ~11 ppm
Temp = 82F
Did a 50% water change anyway.
