Breeding Habits


Recommended Posts

So I noticed that my young female shrimp are starting to get to that breeding age and seem to trigger the males dance. Now the thing is since they're too young so don't produce eggs so they don't actually mate.

 

Has anyone else observed this behavior of young females molting sending the tank into a frenzy just to find out it was a false alarm?

What's the length of the female in millimetre and what kind of shrimp?
