Vicente Mcdonnell Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hi guys, Ive got 1 male in a tank with over 10 females. My question is have you witnessed a male fetilize many females consecutively. Or do they have to recharge after each attempt? Ive only gotten 2 females berried. And the time in between has been about a week. Most of the other non-berried females have super thick saddles and look ready to be berried to me. Some have also molted.

JamesHe Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I know even female takes a break after consecutively breeding for couple months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicente Mcdonnell Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I hope my shrimp isn't over 50. Update: another female berried. That makes 3 females total so far. And its also been about a week since the last one got berried. So im going to assume in my case males do need about a week to recharge before theyre good to mate again. Ill keep observing. It could just be that the female molts have just coincidentally been 1 week apart. miwu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
