RaygunK said:I figured they were similar. Hmmm..so they will breed? That wasn't my goal, but it's exciting to watch. What's the gestation period on those things or do they lay eggs or what? Also i don't have any substrate in that tank, should i get some for the shrimp? I have an 8x8 patch of fissidens fontanus arriving in the mail soon. I was going to floor the tank with that.
Another thing, i'm worried that when my preggo fish in my community have their fry, that the ghost shrimp will eat them all up before i can catch them. Thoughts?
Ghost shrimp usually don't eat fry because they can't move fast enough. I don't think you need substrate because the fissidens will make a better hiding place for them. The only thing is, ghost shrimp might eat young orange bees.
