rabbit3333shane Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Gidday. I got some red cherry shrimp a few weeks ago and I just noticed a couple of them have eggs. I'm wondering how long until the eggs hatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big azza Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I think it's 3 to 4 weeks when the eggs go clear and you can see eye balls they ready to drop is it a shrimp only tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit3333shane Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Thanx azz. Yes it's a shrimp only tank(2ft 50L) with a sponge filter and a heap of java moss. I originally bought them to clean the moss in my community tank but after reading up on them and seeing how small they were I decided to start them a tank of their own. But every time I move some java moss into my fry tank a couple always hitch a ride. One even ended up in community tank (still not sure how) but he didn't last long once a female fighter spotted it.

Big azza Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 They love to eat off the sponge filter I made the mistake of over feeding now I only feed them every 2nd day what are you feeding your shrimpMy fighter fish love them and man do they breed anything else you need to know at all Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit3333shane Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I've been feeding them a bit of fish flakes but just found out they like veggies so started feeding them a bit of carrot and a few peas. I think I was over feeding at first as well so I might take ur advice and cut it back to every other day. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how long until the eggs hatch? depending on the temp 3-4 weeks...Just be careful with the veggies as they can pollute the tank easily, especially carrots, cucumbers, etc. If they start getting soft and mushy could really pollute the tank and kill inhabitants.
