Jadenlea Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 FINALLY... One of my mischlings is going to be a mommy!!!!!! For those of you who have followed my Tank of Death threads, I never thought this day would come . But finally FINALLY after all this time and heart ache, One of my mischlings has Berried. I believe my tank is completely healthy now and while I love my carbon Rilis and took their procreating as "Being on the road to recovery" I was afraid I would never see the day where my mischlings would finally start to be normal. I am beyond excited. I can barely contain myself. Of course, I found the Berried momma to my horror after doing a large water change. I have not done a change in weeks wanting to keep the recovering tank as stable as possible.. finally this weekend I couldnt take it anymore.. overgrown plants and clogged intake filter.. ect. I did a water change, filter cleaning and plant trimming. And of course, this is when the shrimp decides to get pregnant. She was not pregnant last night as she is very easy to pick out. Anyway.. I knew you all would understand my excitement. It is all the sweet for the hard fought battle. I started jumping around when I saw her and my dad looked at me like I had 2 heads lol. For anyone out there dealing with the slow deaths, hang in there and don't give up! Ill try to get a picture when the tank clears up. PS. Thank you ShrimpScales. This is one of yours .

Jadenlea Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Just read that over. Boy do I sound like a noob. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Congratulations! I also had berried shrimp show up both yesterday and today. It's always exciting no matter how many times I've experienced it in the past. I still think it has something to do with the moon being in Waxing Gibbous phase!lol!

35ppt Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Great news, so exciting. I also think moon phase might affect things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Can people track berried and plot against moon phases to test that hypothesis? Jadenlea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilshieh Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Congrats! Albeit i don't keep bee shrimp so my monetary losts are not as high but it is incredibly frustrating to have your shrimp die and all the more glorious when your tank finally stabilizes and the shrimp are all happy. Happy for you Crazyfishlady, Jadenlea and Soothing Shrimp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Woohooo!! Congrats! Especially after all the heart ache and frustration! I can't wait to see pics And yes... I've jumped around and done the 'happy dance' and it's something non-shrimpers will just never understand Soothing Shrimp and Jadenlea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I don't know much about the moon and its phases but it would be a really interesting experiment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadenlea Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I will Shrimpscales. And when I got up this morning Momma was out in front in the tank and still pregnant so I guess the babies have survived the water change and maintenance. Not touching that tank for a month now! No way no how. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadenlea Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I noticed she has so few eggs compared to the carbons. Is that normal for cbs/mischlings? Or maybe its because its her first time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpscales Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Unfortunately they do seem to reproduce slower than neos. That clutch of eggs is a little small but it could be just because its her first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
