Default Help with Caridina Japonica Shrimp!


"Amit" wrote in message
...
I have 20 of these beautiful creatures in my 100 gallon tank - AND THEY

ARE
THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION FOR ALGAE CONTROL!!!!
However I was happen to observe one of them up-side-down but still alive I
thought it is dying so I immediately removed it from the tank and placed

it
in another 30 gallon tank inside a floating guppy breeding box....
As I took a close look she shrimp is in a way reddish than others and it

is
now standing ok in the floating chamber....
Now I can see that its legs are filled with some tissue which I believe it
to be eggs!!!
Oh boy correction - they are Hatching!!!!!!!!!!! I can see tiny tiny (1-2
millimeters) swimming dots....
What should I do ??????



Are you sure they are Japonica? From what I've read, they are *VERY* hard to
breed, and require major care to raise. Do a google search on breeding these
puppies and you'll see what I mean.
On the other hand, my ghost shrnp breed almost as easy as danios, still
tough to raise to adulthood, though I've gotten a couple good batches.
