Sulawesi shrimps gave birth!

[Orion]

Wow. Each Sulawesi cost 8$ in the market and you got hundreds. Do the math. If you rear them well and sell to fellow collectors. You will be a rich young man in no time.

Can we have some pictures please. Some red dots shown in your photos I believe can get many in frenzy

[Joseph*]

please try to show some photos, we will try to strain our eyes to find them in the photos.

can show the parents too?

[Orion]

this looks like a joke to me haha

Are they 'red' ich parasites?
When I see the shrimps selling at such a high price, I believe even the breeders have not found the secrets to mass producing.

Just my opinion.....

[d2sign]

Still waiting... Is this really a joke? Haha.
By the time you post your photos, there are no different from buy another 200-300 adult shrimp, only different is you have a deep pocket. Just joking.

I have not see 200 to 300 sulaweisi shrimp babies in 1 tank of any species, it will be an eyes opener if the thread starter can show some pics.

It has been about 1 month the thread has started, the size of the fries should be about 0.6cm now, macro mode of camera should be able to take some shoot of them.

It would be breeding faster than my cherries or even malayans!

It's been a month since cyberki start this thread.

[cyberkid2]

ok guys...been really really buzy with school work these days so i havent been checking this thread...firstly i would like to apologize for not replying to all of your comments...secondly, those things in my tank ARE NOT shrimps...after checking this thread,http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...ad.php?t=34333, i've realised that they were actually Copepods/ Cyclops...so i've finally gotten rid of most of them...i'm disappointed too...but it's TRUE that my sulawesi shrimp did give birth...however i only see 1 baby shrimp, the rest probably got sucked up the filter? i don't know, but i'll open up my filter one day to find out...so i've finally bought myself the sponge thingy from crshaven to prevent this from happening again...anyway, i've managed to get some pictures of my tank...its not much though...my tank consists of 2 sulawesi shrimps and 2 cherry shrimps...cherries were only added recently...once again, I sincerely apologise for creating a false alarm here...SORRY!

[Orion]

Wow.

I just remember someone used to say : 'Water too clear no fish'.

Yours is clear and full of SHRIMPS.

[cyberkid2]

full of shrimps? there are only 5 including the baby...btw yesterday i saw one of my sulawesi shrimp moving its fins(im not sure what it's called, the part below the abdomen they use for swimming around) rapidly but standing still for quite a long time...so wierd...then today i noticed it's carrying eggs again...yay

[Crazy4Shrimps]

Only picture 5 looks Sulawesi to me. The rest looks like Sakura shrimps.

[Orion]

Do you mean Sulawesi shrimps or shrimps from Sulawesi Indonesia. There are many colourful fresh water shrimps there.

I suspect they may be from the sea that migrate to inland fresh water.

Frankly speaking, from the way I look at your tank it is highly unlikely they can survive for more than a month let alone lay eggs propagating future generations. A lot of vital requirements are missing:

Large area, well hiding place, temperature control, water parameter - hardness PH, food they eat, ratio of male female.

Quite hard but not impossible.

It was difficult to take pictures of the sulawesi shrimps because they tend to hide at the back alot...

I have placed one sulawesi shrimp in a GEX 9cm cube since last year...and until now i havent touched anything inside the little tank (no water changes, no feeding, no adding of plants) and it's still alive...

[beetroot]

is it easy to keep sulawesi shrimps? can they survive in a tank without air pump?

they are beautiful... but so expensive (7bucks each so if they die, then )
