berried prl take how long to hatch? Usually it's depend on the temperature set but i didn't count it. Search online will be able to know.
According to a chart that I've just read for crs (I think it should not varies too much for prl as well) is summarize as below
1. Temperature between 26 - 30 degrees
a. less eggs survival
b. sexual maturity earlier but with smaller body size compare to colder water
c. higher juvenile/adult mortality
2. Temperature between 23 - 26 degrees
a. optimum eggs survival
b. optimum invertebrates well being
3. Temperature between 20 - 23 degrees
a. egg maturation longer
b. reproduction cease
c. slow down sexual maturity but will have larger body size at sexual maturity compare to warmer water
It's written that the best water temperature should be between 24 - 25. Don't believe in everything you read on the internet so I've to ask if anyone has a different view/experience that you wish to share, please feel free.

God bless. Shes is definitely berried. How they all hatches n survive.

Yap. Best not to change or add anything once shrimps start to get berried and later shrimplets released. Shrimplets are really sensitive. I'm still trying to increase survival rate to more than 80%. Some say shrimplets thrive better in low gh. Not sure true not.
My gh 5 tds 128. I want low gh but high tds but i dont think can

Gh is mainly a measure of calcium and magnesium. So if can add something that has low or no Mg and Ca but rich in other minerals, I think it's possible to increase Tds without significant increase in gh. I'm currently using mosura Tds up

Same as you boss
O ok. Maybe I go buy. Second prl female berried. But only a few eggs. Hope to see at lease 5 baby shrimpes end aug

Congrats! Getting berried and seeing shrimplets I think is easy but ensuring their survival to adulthood to me is most challenging.
o man........ i though berried and seeing shrimplets is hard. but once born easy.......... will keep you guys updated.
