Jackson Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 gets me mad when I have fry and don't notice them till the survivors show up when the are big enough to be seen . Find it hard to believe the shrimp only had five fry in that batch . 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 Just saw this really tiny one not really as red as the others and half the size . Do they hatch at different times vs all about the same time ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Super cute, and yes, eggs hatch in their own time so typically not all at once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwcarlson Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Those look like two separate sets of shrimplets, honestly. You'll be surprised how many shrimp you end up with. Gravel is good for the baby shrimp to hide in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they hatch at different times vs all about the same time ? Could be different sets, but they do grow at different rates based on gender and living conditions. One shrimp might have chosen a "better spot" so to speak and got more nutrients. When I first say mine they were very, very small. After about a week they were gigantic by comparison. They grow fast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
