Saddled RCS question

[Fishandmusic81]

I see that most of my female RCS are saddled I've read that it will be about 3 weeks till they develop eggs
But I wanna get some experiences from people who have owned them
Thanks

I've owned and still own them. Personally, I don't monitor when they are saddled or not. They reproduce so quickly that it isn't all that great to memorize it (granted I have a dedicated tank to them).

They are very, very hardy that won't lose their eggs unless they are very stressed.

Good luck!

I think once saddled they drop as soon as a male is available pretty much.

The usual gestation is about a month. Is your RCS saddled or does she have eggs?

Saddled shrimp become berried after they molt, if there is a male around.

Well I don't think they'll be stressed they have a whole 10 gallon to themselves

They are all saddled I don't see any with eggs but I also don't think it's been a full month yet but very close

You will be able to see the eggs right away
