Birth to Berry – Yellow Shrimp Edition
I observed some yellow shrimp, from birth to berry the same way I have observed Blue Pearl Shrimp and Tiger Shrimp. And today I have all the results of the Yellow Shrimp observations:
The yellow shrimp were born on November, 20th 2007. The first berried female was observed on January 3rd 2008, and the second generation hatched January 22 2008.
Stats:
Time to fully matured berried female: 44 Days
Gestation Period: 18 Days
Total time from birth to second generation: 62 Days
Aquarium setup
All the Yellow Shrimp were kept in a 10-gallon aquarium that has mosses and vals. The substrate is Aquasoil Amazonia.
Stats:
PH: 6.8
Temp: 76
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: less than 10ppm
The total life cycle of 62 days is very consistent with other Dwarf Shrimp that I have observed. Both the Blue Pearl Shrimp and Tiger Shrimp share a very close life cycle.
