    My experience is about 3 to 4 weeks from when the eggs appear on the underside. I have had both green and yellow eggs but have not been able to determine if there is a difference (i.e whether one colour will hatch and the other will not).

    It takes about 4 weeks, the shrimps give birth to the young alive. Cherry shrimps' eggs are yellow in colour. Crystal red shrimps' eggs are darker coloured.

    I did some research sometime ago on CRS egg hatching durations, I would think that Cherry Shrimp would also follow a similar pattern based on water temperature.
