    Pregnant Yamato shrimps!!

    [] yahoo, one of my Yamatoes is pregnant with eggs, just wonderin' the survival rate of the hatchlings. Anybody got any experience? Should I isolate the pregnant mother into another separate smaller tank? Cos if I leave it to where it is, I'm sure the hatched baby shrimps will get eaten up by the other fishes...

    Unfortunately, not many people have bred them successfully. Literature says that the larvae require brackish conditions to survive. However, Karen Randall, one of the major "plant gurus" here in the States, tells her story:

    So I think they just like *really* densely-planted tanks.

    You are not the first and you won't be the last to find Yamatoes with eggs. very common really. In a heavily planted tank, some may make it to adulthood, most will be eaten by fish.

    tltan, no chance of breeding yamato shrimps in our planted tank. The shrimp fries stay in sea water where they feed on photoplankton. If u have marine tank, then u can give it a try.

    Thanks Wks for the reply. Guess just let nature take its own course by leaving it inside and it might be better...if not mu zi bu bao (mother and son also die) jialatz liao haha. At least can retain the live of the mum if left in tank.

    Thanks a lot.

    eggs
    most people can't keep them alive due to fish snapping up the larvae
    if you're really into breeding them, you COULD take them out and do a search on the web for their breeding and grow-out conditions

    My Yamato eggs are black, brown or white with black dots and sometimes slight orangs color.

    I think black colour one are not fertilized eggs. I have tried hatching them but to keep the fries alive is another story.

    Martin,

    Sorry to say..I don't think yamatos eggs are greenish
    Are you sure it is yamatos?

    Hope I'm wrong.
