My ghost shrimp got knocked up!

My largest ghost shrimp which i guessed was the female was carrying around a bunch of little eggs under her belly today. Not bad after having them for 2 weeks. Think the offspring are pretty much hopeless of surviving?

Youre lucky. I van't even find a store that carries ghost shrimp in NY

Man they are everywhere here. Every pet store has them, and walmart.

I had to order mine from California

One of the helpful users told me there is a pet store pretty north of me that may have them as well. I'll have to check that out.

They are all over the place here too.
I have about 10 in my 55gal community tank.

Maybe I should buy a ton of them and start selling them.

They are everywhere here in MD!! I had a mother give birth to some baby ghost shrimp where I work, and most, if not all survived! They are really cool too! Anyways have fun, and good luck!
