Allicat Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yay! My female has been pregnant for some time, yesterday morning I spotted 2 tiny tiny babies, but I do have a question. How long does it take for a female to have all her babies? She was definitely the only one berried, I have 8 in a very simple set up and I can easily find them all. It had been about 24 hours and she still has eggs on her belly. My cherry shrimp in a different tank seen to have them faster.

kell73k Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I have a fancy tiger that did the same thing. She had some babies over like a 13 hour time period and still has some eggs a day later. I have been looking for answers online about how long it takes them, but haven't found much information on that. Was you shrimp ok later, and how long till all the babies were out?

RyeGuy411 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I have seen shrimp give birth all at once over the course of an hour. Then others do it overnight maybe 12 hours. I've also seen shrimp birth a portion then molt with unhatched eggs. Allicat and kell73k 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
