Congrats! @Little Guys Congrats on new shrimplets. 👏 I got babies a few months ago and as I keep watching, they have multiplied, so I have babies of all ages. They start out unbelievably tiny; it's almost unreal just how tiny. Here's a picture of some of my newborns. Compare them to the size of my small substrate pieces. I'm so happy that this gave you so much excitement, as mine did for me. 😃 ❤️ That's why we do this hobby.

Flipper Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I should clarify, the shrimplets in my photos are already a week or two old, so not exactly newborns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 That’s such a cute pose @Little Guys. I feel your joy. I’m new to shrimpkeeping and am gaga over babies. This is my fav picture from a newborn jumping in front of the giant bull dozing snail 😍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Guys Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 Cool Discovery! I had a mama shrimp in a breeding tank because she was being bullied by the other shrimp. I noticed one day (not long after isolation) that she no longer had eggs. I could not see anything in the tank and put her back in the big tank. I did not think anything of it and today I noticed teeny, tiny babies in the breeding tank. They were so small when they were born that I could not see them. Now I have to feed tiny babies. Help, what do tiny baby shrimp eat? 🤣 Careful what you ask for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 There's some food already there for the babies. Do you have shrimp pellet food for your other shrimp? If so, put 2 or 3 pieces in the tank for the babies, maybe twice a week. That should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoDaksam Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Mine just did the same things. A couple different colors- red, red/white, and gold. Did the the dirted tank with sand cap. Dry start with a thick carpet. Can’t believe it worked. DIY CO2 w/ chopstick. Nice when patience pays off. Congrats. I’ve got a ton of white, circular bugs booting around, too. Must have been in the soil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
