woopderson Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Momma shrimp moutled before the eggs were even close to hatching. I removed them from the molt and placed them in the cup. I added tank water, and do a 100% water change each day. I put a Y connector from my air pump to a valve then into the cup to control air flow. That way there is water movement to replicate the mom moving her swimmeretes. Uh Eggs without their moms ? How can? (sorry newbie question, so we can take those out from a dead shrimp) ArtheLad, Dendrobatez and mayphly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woopderson Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Good luck, I hope you're successful! It always seems like a waste to lose eggs because of dropping/molts/deaths.

mayphly Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I can't tell if this clearish looking baby is from the mischling or the tibee mama.The other two in the pic are definitely from the mischling. Either way it has some cool markings I've never seen before. Spring is in the air!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayphly Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm hoping for taitibee. However, there was another male tibee in the tank which I just removed. So, it's possible it's a tibee. Once it colors up a bit I should be able to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it colors up a bit I should be able to tell. It could be Tai-tibee. I will strongly suggest you to remove them from the tank. These guys will grow up into Crystal White (either blue tone or yellow tone base). If you don't remove them, your whole tank will started to become like them (they have the lowest common denominator gene) and your money will go down the drain. Given said that, they are the intermediate gene for me to breed fancy Tibee or Pinto. If you are planning to breed these two type of shrimps, put them in separated tank.

mayphly Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 The tai-tibee is what I'm shooting for in hopes to create my own pinto. I have a tank all set up for them I'm very excited and can't wait to see what else shows up.

woopderson Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I did lose a few eggs to fungi, but it looks like about 7-10 eggs will make it. I blasted the air pump twice a day and tried to remove some of the mold very carefully. The air pump was left running to create gentle current. In addition I water changed the cup 1-2 times a day, usually 95% Woopderson, how you managed to hatch that eggs?

I heard some people did that but I never try it myself. Maybe it makes it easier. Next time I will try it if it won't work I'll do your method then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I can most definitely do that! I will make a thread in the care section. I know Han sells a bubbler that I would be curious to try in time. WOW what an achievement....now we need a writeup of everything you did so that we can all try this instead of a great loss. It wasn't too bad, but you're taking on the task of shrimp mom! would be interesting to see if the blue water would help, I may try that next time.Sounds like a lot of labour involved to keep them healthy.

fishcrazy Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Although, not all that special this is one of my best photos I have taken. These are my fire red cherries. I think that female may be berried; however, its hard to tell. TheGardenofEder, adrand and Pika 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
