The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

After the babies get so big they seem to go off and hide for a while before emerging larger, maybe its a stay safe tactic?

I think so too

I hope so. I didn’t see any once they grew out of the lavae stage, but to then see four, I was elated.

I have even better news, on Monday I noticed a shed skin in the tank, and yesterday I saw a berried shrimp. They seem to do well in the tank, but they are mostly quite pale. Can I do anything to improve colour? They originally were quite red.

Nice!

I was watching my berried female, and then another berried female scooted past! The babies I got from the first pregnancy are so big. I have about ten babies and four adults. Some babies are nearly as big as adults. I am really pleased, I keep normal freshwater cherry shrimp and I don’t have any luck with them.

You seem to have the knack for Opae ula keeping, they won’t breed if they are not happy! Congratulations

Thanks Odin, I am very lucky. You sold me three girls and a boy and all the females have been pregnant.
