I noticed today that the berried dark red female's eggs have hatched and the larvae are still hanging on to their mom. I expect to come home from work and find a tank full of free floating larvae in the next couple of days :laugh:

There must be 15 to 20 larvae :lol: :upsidedown: :smile:

Well today there are larvae floating in my breeder tank! When I guessed 10 days ago that they would be released today I think i got lucky :upsidedown:

I've counted around 11 or 12 so there are some hiding or they are yet to be released still. I don't see the mom shrimp hanging around though.

I will leave it for a few more hours and then get some photos. Wahoo !

I counted about 20 Larvae swimming around today! Last night before the lights went out i noticed the mom and she still had 3 or 4 larvae hanging on, they must all be free floating now.

Here we go :smile:

YES!!! They are soooooo cute! They look like little strings with a knot at the end. Thanks for providing such joy looking at these little beings.
