    i have had these shimps for a few months now and today i noticed eggs on my only female!!

    i have a:

    30 gal.
    fluva filter
    artica chiller

    i do normal 1/3 of the tank water changes a week. and change my filter media as need but not all at once.

    congrats dude.
    all the way from usa.
    i wonder how many shrimps you have in your 30gal?
    it is possible the reason why your shrimps took so long to breed is because they cant find each other in such a huge tank.

    i advise to change less water during WC per week. 10% should be enough! do not touch your filter media anymore. you will disturb the bacteria colony! i used to have a 80L CRS tank and i never had to change any media.. i used biohome and i only clean the media once every 6mths...

    minimal disturbance to tank's parameters is the best way to keep her happy.
    i used the baby shrimp food a few days before the eggs hatch. they should take around 21days to release the eggs.

    good luck.
