Yay, my one of my female cherry shrimps eggs have hatched

About 3 months ago i added 12 cherry shrimp to my 8G and i noticed 3 pregnant females then it became a waiting game

And now after about a month of noticing thep regnant females there are babies

They are SOO cute

Just tried to get pics but i had 2 major problems.

1: They were either at theb ack of the tank where the camera couldnt pick them out even when it was zoomed

2: OR, they are sitting somewherei n the open but when i go round the side of the tank to get a pic, there is weed in the way lol

i WILL get pictures eventually, let them b for another hour or so then they will move around a little

Ok so i have pictures

But they are on my phone so im gonna TRY and get them on my computer lol

platy ben

Yay pictures!!

But they arent very good becuz the shrimp are so small!!

In one of the pictures (i think the third one) there is a baby guppy swimming past, that guppy is around 4 days old, the guppy is in the backround but the shrimp are roughly as big as it, just so you get an idea of how big the shrimp are

Wow that's so cool!!! I just got my first 4 RCS today!!! Sadly one is already dead but he may not have been to healthy to begin with. I can't wait to see mor pics of yours as they grow!!!

Congrats!!!

In around 2-3 months you will probably be the same as i am now, hunting for little teeny babies all the time

I dont know if you knew but you can tell when a RCS is pregnant because you can see her stomach is filled with yellow eggs

Good luck with the rest of your shrimp

Awww... baby shrimp! Thanks for the pictures! I think fish keeping comes hand in hand with fish photography.
