Surprise!

Well my 10 gallon only had 1 tiger barb left and 1 Otocinclus so I decided to move the barb and since ghost shrimp are only 39¢ each I got 8 of them and added them in.

Only to my surprise when I saw this...


She's pregnant! I'm in shock ?

Does anyone have any tips for when they hatch if they actually do?

I haven't kept ghost shrimp, but I do have cherry shrimp, I'm not sure if they have the same requirements. What I would do is just make sure the babies have plenty of hiding places. I would recommend java moss, they seem to love it.

Ghost shrimp don't reproduce like cherry shrimp. The young go through a larval stage, and they require green water to survive. Look up breeding and raising ghost shrimp on Google

Mine is pregnant too! What I have done is I've placed her in a separate tank after I waited for the eggs to get fertilized and I'm making green water right now! It's just water with free floating algae and phytoplankton so the larvae can eat it when they hatch. I've heard they're very very hard to keep alive but we can only do our best right? ? Just watch for little black eyes forming in the eggs and that means the larvae are almost done forming
