Hello all! I haven't even received my shippment of (11) cherry shrimp yet but I would like to know apporximately how long it will take b4 they mature, have eggs, and hatch.
I apologize for my lack of research (I know it's out there somewhere) I'm just pretty darn excited

My Intro: I've raised fish (trout, walleye, sturgeon, paddlefish, tiger musky, round-whitefish) for New York State for 12 years. All flow through systems. I've been into aquaria as a hobby for 3+ yrs and have a 90gal heavily planted community tank (CO2, high light,...), a 33gal puffer tank,a 30 gal spare fish/plants tank, 10gal quarantinte/hospital tank, 15g shrimp tank, and a currently empty 20g high. I frequent aquariacentral.com/forums often but will be here also. I am looking forward to being attacked by "the shrimp bug"

It depends on how much food is available to the shrimp, but a couple months probably a reasonable guess.

Try supplementing them with algae wafers, etc.

Also, check out the forum re: Planted Tanks in my sig.
