American Glass Shrimp Breeding Program (Update #3)
The young shrimp have started to grow a little more rapidly now and have started to display a more aggressive feeding response. They will gather around a food pellet and begin to eat with in a few short minutes of the pellet being added to the aquarium. -
American Glass Shrimp breeding program (update #2)
On October 22 the larva morphed into their adult form. That was a little under a week of larval stage. Now that they have morphed they are now kept in a 2.5-gallon aquarium to establish a breeding population. -
American Glass Shrimp breeding program (update #1)
The first larva have been found in the American Glass Shrimp aquarium. I was able to separate a few from the main tank into their own dedicated rearing container.

This morning I found this: This is the largest female I have and she is carrying a large amount of eggs. The more larva she hatches the better chance I have of […] -
Breeding Amano Shrimp – Journal (time to restart)
Well, as I have mentioned in previous posts I was out of town for quite some time. While I was out of town my Amano Shrimp that was at one time berried is no longer berried! I found no evidence of her dropping the eggs so I am going to assume that they hatched. I […] -
