Re: [GSAS-Member] Tank Bred Shrimp



Betty, one of my friends said the secret to having shrimp breed is to have at least 10 shrimp. I started with 12, and did nothing special other than good waterchanges and a bit of salt in the water. Mine have been breeding like mad and I have TONS of shrimp. I think I have at least 200 right now.

And there's a yahoogroups list about fresh water shrimp that Frank
owns/moderates. I subscribe to that list. They've talked about lots of
different species! I'm still trying to get my red cherries to produce
babies! They grow, they develop egg saddles....but nothing beyond that
(sigh). I've tried marine salt, freshwater salt, they get Crab Cuisine
and/or flake food regularly plus the thread algae....still no little
shrimpies.
