    Hi, my tiger shrimp has recently been filled with eggs after couple of weeks. Some questions if anyone could help me along:

    1. Are these eggs fertilised yet or it will have to be fertilised? Basically I am not familiar with the mating process of shrimps.

    2. How long will it take for these eggs to hatch?

    3. Assuming I do sucessfully hatch them, how do I keep the young, any special diet for them or just Algae Wafers are fine?

    thank you in advance.

    after 1 to 2 weeks, you shd be able to seem tiny eyes in the eggs ... those that are not fertilised will turn white

    2. How long will it take for these eggs to hatch?

    2 to 3 weeks

    3. Assuming I do sucessfully hatch them, how do I keep the young, any special diet for them or just Algae Wafers are fine?

    no special diet ... the young can eat algae wafer ... best if you have lots of moss as they seem to thrive in moss covered areas ... take out any predators too

    saw my yamatos mating before.
    a few males just flip the female over, do the thingy and swim away.
    something like stomach to stomach
    Cheers,
