Hi Nikki

Baby shrimps......yummy!
It's quite a mission to set up a brackish tank for them and raise to
adulthood. Why don't you leave them where they are and see what happens. If
its a disaster THEN try with the brackish setup. If you move the adult now
with all the babies it might be too much of a shock for them. You would need
to get them a separate tank with exactly the same water params as the
original and then sowly acclimate them to brackish conditions. Not sure if
this ramble means anything to you, but there you go Good luck and please
post again, I'd love to see the babies. I'm in South Africa and have never
even seen a live shrimp before, we don't get them here! ...so I'll live
vicariously through your shrimp mission if you don't mind

Kind Regards

Ooooooh! Can anyone point me to a photo of a "pregnant" amano shrimp?
Two of my shrimp look like they are brooding amongst the watersprite.
They have a grey mass between their legs. Maybe they're ill! Maybe
they're not! What do I do?? Shall I setup a brackish tank?


If this isn't an egg laden shrimp, I don't know what is!
