nixona Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hey everybody, I got some sample food from Puddles and this site was printed on his card. I went to message him on TPT to see about ordering some food and he was banned. So I came here to stalk him. I keep a 55g tank of RCS and am trying to get a carbon rili tank running. I started out with 11. I've lost 3 or 4, one berried female. I managed to scrape her eggs and keep them in a separate container, wound up with about 20 little ones from that experience to my surprise. It's basically impossible to see anything but adults on the eco complete substrate though. I'm just playing the waiting game to see if these guys will take off or not.

Soothing Shrimp Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Great to have you here. How did you artificially incubate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixona Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Soothing - Filled a small tupperware container with tank water, set the lid loosely on top. I used an oral syringe to stir up the water a couple times per day. I think I was just lucky, they hatched about a week later. I was actually just trying to decide how I would do a water change when I noticed shrimplets. They hatched for about 3 days. Pika 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I've played with several different methods myself, but you got a better ratio of babies than I ever did. Thanks for explaining how you did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
