Contemplation

   Posted by: shrimp diaries   in Rearing Amano shrimplets

Nothing significant has happen as the berried Amano shrimp continues to drop her eggs. We are contemplating putting her back into her secure Amano infested tank.

-5:22pm, we contemplate no more. She started flipping her walking legs at timed intervals, and you could see the larva being pushed out, one after the other. We knew it was time. So we grabbed her and put her into the 10g tank and she is slowly getting rid of all those hatching eggs. Eureka!!! That is all we are about at the moment at Shrimp Diaries.

-The real test to our project begins now as we will be monitoring those larva every hour until we start to see some miniature adults.

-Wish us luck, we will need it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

P.S We have stopped counting because they are just too many. -

7:55pm, she is still kicking her walking legs and the Zoea are still coming out. That is rather an interesting experience. It is definitely not an instant birthing process.
