Crazyfishlady Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'm so excited it's a bit embarrassing! lol :D I was making a little video of the shrimp in their 'dance craze' after a slight water change. I saw a tiny spec darting around. When I realized what it was I almost dropped my camera. I have only had the shrimp for about 3 weeks. I had noticed 'saddled' females but never a berried one. I already found this 'guy/girl' right in the mix in the food tray and, with a magnifying glass, watched it eating the crumbs that the bigger ones were kicking around. Do I need to do anything special? I am seriously glad no one can see how excited I am right now. lol randy, Rodan76, Fishprinceofca and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyeGuy411 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 That is awesome I remember the first time I had babies and I was pretty excited. I still get excited every time I see new babies that have hatched. Crazyfishlady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Seeing berries or babies has never gotten old for me. Congrats! Crazyfishlady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I can still see the 'one and only baby' and I am completely baffled as to where he/she came from. 1. I have plenty of saddle females but have never found a berried one yet (only had them about 3 weeks) 2. I haven't seen any other babies - although they are sooo tiny Any thoughts about this mysterious baby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EbiBunBun Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 hitchhiker? That would have been my guess, those tiny shrimplets are stealthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 would it be that tiny after 3 weeks? Sigh... oh well.. guess I don't 'have babies' yet.. just a stowaway, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
