Crazyfishlady Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I've noticed some of my snowballs now carry less eggs each time. Saw one with only like 6. They used to hold so many eggs I couldn't count them. Is this age? Is there something possibly wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyana Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Are you sure it's not them hatching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 strange. I thought they carried.. or at least held on to more eggs as they got older Crazyfishlady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 maybe your shrimp are just so prolific they berry back up before they have time to form as many eggs? Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I can only hope Jaden I am keeping a close eye on them now. They are my little rabbit breeders so notice the low amount of eggs caught me off guard. I tested the water and things were fine, TDS was a bit high at 230 so I did a water change to bring it down. Gads... I hate the worrying part. They seem happy, healthy and as goofy as every though so hopefully it's just me being paranoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citycode01 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I had the same thing. Once I saw my cherry shrimp mum only carry one egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 It's very strange and a bit nerve wracking. I"m watching them closely. Luckily one of the other snowballs in my mix bloodline tank just berried and she is packin'! lol I have been messing with the the tank, clipping, yanking a few things out. Could be I just stressed them out. Other than water changes I am leaving it alone for awhile. Hopefully that was all it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
