Baby Cherry Shrimps!
by 2tall Thu 21 Apr 2011 - 7:45
Part of a package deal I received a little over a month ago had six Cherry Shrimps. I looked in the tank tonight and I noticed around nine baby shrimps moving about in a group. What a nice surprise for me! About 1/4" long!

They are about 1/4" long. When I can see them on top of a pot I'll try and snap a worth while pic!

Here are a couple baby shrimp finally! I've counted a dozen at least. The adults are just 2cm long.

I had 3 ABN's but haven't seen the 3rd one for over a week. I've look in all
the holes & crevices. No floating, on the bottom. Must have done Quantum
Jumping!
Yes thats a Peppered Cory in the background. She's such a nice fish! Of course the LFS didn't
inform me about grouping. I'll add a few more Corys even if not Peppered.
The tank is not anywhere near completion as I had a few issues and no extra cash on hand. I had
to remove the dirt and sand cap because the intake on the filter was to long. The gravel was a mix
of extras I had on hand.

I got more shrimp popping up all around. Some are only 1/4" long, the last batch are 1cm and I've counted (guesstimated) around 30. I started out with
about 1/2 dozen.
about 1/2 dozen.
