peligro Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Ok so I'm outside smoking a ciggy, When I come in I notice all these clearish white things being thrown around in my tank. I'm like :eek:..... Upon further viewing I notice these things have legs and look like baby shrimp. I Just got this peppermint shrimp 3 days ago. And now this lol.... First its the nem split. Then my Duncan closed, and open to be sprouting new heads, now this shrimp is giving birth. Is a sign my tank is doing really good, or everythings last ditch effort.

Islandoftiki Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Probably baby shrimp. Did you see the video of my shrimp giving birth? It sounds like your tank is doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islandoftiki Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thats so cool' date=' how did you catch that on video, amazing.[/quote'] Absolute dumb luck. I walked by the tank and noticed something floating around... maybe one or two baby shrimp here and there. So I took a look at my cleaner shrimp and one of them had a really swollen clutch of eggs and was noticeably acting different. So I grabbed my phone and started shooting some short videos of her behavior and after about 5 minutes of shooting videos it happened. Pretty darn lucky to capture the moment on video. All of the babies were consumed by the corals and fish in about 1/2 hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
