mayphly Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 They're funny when they mate! I had mine stuck together for like 30 min one time. I wish you luck! Doc4PC2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Congrats man, are you going to separate the female once berried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I already did. She isn't berried yet though, even though I saw mating. Seems to me she should be berried by now, so I'm guesing it didn't take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Good luck with them. Once you get them going, it's hard to control them. At one point I had over 100 babies in a 10 gallon tank. Soothing Shrimp and JamesHe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenteam Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 This are the small orange ones right? Do they need to be in their own tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortGirl Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 That second pic is adorable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Ron you have great pics in that folder of yours. Really like the clean tank look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 This are the small orange ones right? Do they need to be in their own tank? Yup, dwarves. I had my main CPO breeders with Blue Rili shrimp. Just make sure there are lots of floating plants so the shrimp can keep their distance. That second pic is adorable! Thanks, I wish I took more pics when I only had the one grow up tank, it was infested with baby CPO. Ron you have great pics in that folder of yours. Really like the clean tank look. Thanks, those pics are from quite a while ago. The shrimp tanks are completely gone and I am starting over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Old thread, but my cpos finally got the hang of breeding. I first got them because they looked a lot like pumpkin shrimp. Within a couple days, I fell in love. Their personalities are incredible, and the fact that they stay small is awesome. No harm to plants either. It's like MTS all over again! LOL Shrimpo and mayphly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Mine eat snowflake and flake. The cooler weather here has amped up their breeding, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
