I was doing some tank maintenance to my nursery tank, rotating sponges, water testing & such, getting ready to do a partial water change, when I noticed what looked like snow in the tank.

It turned out to be hundreds of tiny bits of shrimp carapaces. It's amazing that these tiny creatures could create such a mess. I've estimated that there are around 30 red claw juveniles (two females hatched at the same time).

Congrats! It's always good to hear that someon is actually breeding macros out there. Macros have been very underappreciated up to this point in time. But their time will come.

Wow! Congrats! This is the same species I had wanted to breed, but I just don't have the space.

Any pictures?

Unfortunately I don't have a macro lense, to take good photos of my macro shrimp . So the closeup photos aren't that good.

Here's papa;


Here are a few of the young;




I really should take some during feeding time, that's when they get crazy!

Instead of posting a bunch of pictures to this thread, I've created a picture album. You can see them here:
