So excited to finally find my baby shrimp!!! I saw a couple of them a few minutes ago. Pics below. I was trying to get a pic of the berried saddled one when I saw the baby on the pre filter sponge.

The babies are pretty big, about 4mm long, thin and still young.

My other female is saddled too (also pic below).

This is a pic where I was getting the one in the center when the one to the right came up to check out what was going on.

This one is here on the pre filter sponge at the upper right.

That does mean that the other momma who I just saw berried was a new one.

Yay:dance: I was wondering if this was a big ZERO project. But it is going!!! There is another breeder locally and I am going to pick up a handful of Blue Velvets in the next week or so for some additional diversity.

Yay shrimp-mom. One of these days you'll have to tell me where you get them from since we're so close.

If they keep this up I may have extras before long!

Thank you. I admit I was feeling like I was having shrimp failure, with the OEBT not coming to fruition and then this, seemed like nothing was happening, I guess it just took longer than I thought for them to mature and get busy!
