flynruff Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I've done a lot of reading, not much posting but THANK YOU SHRIMP SPOT!! My shrimp tank has been up for a year. I have spent close to $300 on shrimp, almost all have not made it I found this site in January. Read almost every post. Invested in everything from paraguard and kanaplex to alder cones and Han's food.The deaths and milky/cloudy bodies seem to have stopped and the survivors (3 orange rili) seem active and happy. Yesterday I came home from a 4 day trip and what do I find?BERRIED FEMALE!!!I know I have a long way to go before shrimplets, but finally feel like I'm getting somewhere. I wouldn't be here without all the good advice and info from the great peeps on this board.Thanks again to you all!

flanneryc Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I remember finding my first berried girl very well! I was so excited I couldn't wait to get to the tank each day to check in on her. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
