octanejunkie Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Found a big shed in our riparium last night and as of this morning, we have a berried amano, here is the first pic So the count down starts today, Feb 28, 2014, and I expect to be moving her to the hatching tank in about 30 days, or when I see dots on eggs The process I will follow is outlined in this thread: http://caridina.japonica.online.fr./English/Elevage.htm and I will keep this thread updated (main thread is on SCAPEclub.org) and will outline my process and equipment with pics and a journal. I may modify the procedure using the "salt drop" method, but either way, I have 2 more saddled right behind her so I have at least 3 chances in the next few months Wish me luck SurraGync, Alfrediacag, Timothylem and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Lots and lots of luck. Very few people have been able to do this, so I hope you do well, my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OblongShrimp Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I was thinking of trying this someday myself, I will love to hear how you progress! Where are you getting the plankton from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielt Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Had many females berried but I cannot get plankton. Was thinking on looking at salt water products but I'm fearing they will pollute the water quickly. Unfortunately I cannot get a starter colony to grow my own. Any alternatives that anyone had success with? Brewer's yeast works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I know they feed yeast to fairy shrimp, but unknown how it will work in salt water or if it will work at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
