If look could kill, this shrimp woulda been vaporized!!

 

[mfdrookie516]

Very cool. Make sure you get some food for them. Either baby brine shrimp, microworms, or something. crushing up NLS just didn't do it for mine.

 

[Joyler]

Will do!! Thanks rook any luck with a second try yet?

 

[mfdrookie516]

They have been hiding out for the last 2 days and the female has really gotten bright yellow. I'm pretty sure I'll see a spawn in the next day or two. But, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Ya...I've set my expectations at FAIL this time that way there are no disappointments, but I'm sure gonna try hard I'm just worried cuz my HOB is running a bit of a current for my rasborras and rummy noses...so I feel like it will be to strong for little babies...suggestions? It's a topfin power 60

The babies should be fine with the filter, but you will want to use a sponge or mesh over the intake. They'll stay low in the tank for quite awhile after they go free-swimming. Even with no extra effort, a few are likely to make it through and the parents get better at parenting as they mature more.

As always...you guys are the best!! Proud to be part of AA

Ya I feel like the parents are still young! They are only about an inch long...and the male has the orange on his three fins, with black "webbing" design...but I don't see any red just orange, to a color resembling the orange-red crayon in a coloring box...opinions on strand?

Just found a flashlight and looked into the bottom of the pot (hope that doesn't upset mama too much) and saw the eggs! I'd say around 20-25! Hopefully I'm not a complete failure
