7 new larvae in my breeder tank tonight and there seems to be 2 females releasing them, I may have 30 larvae or so by the end of the week if I'm lucky

I have 14 larvae now including the 7 from yesterday, the stripped mother has 1 left to release then i just need to wait for the 2nd mother to start releasing and i think she has at least 15.

Way to go. I'm seeing berried females in my tank and larvae from time to time. Not sure if they're all surviving as I don't always see them.

They all tend to hide post larvae for the first few weeks at least.

Crappy iPhone camera shot but this is the 2nd one about to release her larvae:

A quick count up of the larvae born this week and i lost count at 32

Spotted this new mom too tonight:

Envious! Pretty good shots with an iPhone.

Thanks! Once your tank is just right you dont really have to do much... they just breed like rabbits

99% of my photos are taken with my DSLR Sony NEX-5N with their Sony E 30mm f/3.5 Macro lens, Not the best equipment but it does an ok job (i didnt want to spend much money just for taking a few shrimp photos lol. The not so good photos are taken with the iPhone.

There is still someone releasing larvae in the breeder tank, i counted 45 larvae and saw a mother still holding onto some that will be released soon.
