How many shrimps do you have? Males and females?
I have been keeping my shrimp for around 3 months, but i haven't seen any babies yet.
I saw it twice that the shrimps swimming frantically which i presume that's the shrimps are doing shrimp dance but nothing happened after that. In one occasion that there were a male shrimp trying to grab one of the female, but the female seems like trying to get away from the approaching male, and since the male were smaller than the female, the female managed to get away from him (maybe she was shouting "molest" at the same time too =P)
So can I know what have you guys do to increase the chance of the male score the female?

i have around 10 in 1.5ft tank.
should have about even number of male/female ... only that some shrimps are bigger than the others tho ...
tag along this thread...
i have about 30 crs in my 1 month old 3ft tank for and no berried shrimps so far
they seem happy otherwise...
guess i'll wait for another month or two...
They probably have to get use to the surroundings first( probably take about 1-2 months). Provided they are given very stable waters(parameters) and food.
From my own experience, mine took about 2.5 months to grow from 0.8cm to about 1.6cm then berried which hatched in around the 3.5 month since i had them.
Aspiring to be.
3 plus months after purchase is a good rough guide for shrimps getting matured and berried. Unless u get adults matured shrimps. Within a month should have berried if everything is fine I guess.
yep 3 mths is the norm for shrimps to get berried. lower temperature also helps.
i experimented once with a tank inside my air conditioned room and one in room temperature. the rate of shrimps getting berried is significantly higher in the air con room.
you could try this
finally i saw a berried female!!Originally Posted by gentle
the eggs were kind of dark, maybe hatching anytime soon?
dark eggs are just fertilized only, if they are hatching soon, you should see transparent eggs with eyes.finally i saw a berried female!!
