MinusInfinity Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I've noticed a few females in my tank who've been berried before just stop developing saddles. Is this something that just happens or is it a sign of malnutirion? I still have other females constantly developing saddles and then berrying up though.

monty703 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 How can you tell if there is a saddle with spotted headed shrimps? I can't even begin to figure out where the saddle part is located with these. I have several females but none ever show any signs of saddles and no breeding going on.....what's up?

MinusInfinity Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 With my tibees some are semi transparent. I also have a golden bee female thats transparent too. I've seen them all berry up before. Also I keep track of timing with known females As for solid colored crs/CBS and tibees I can tell with 2 methods 1.lighting, sometimes when they swim close to the surface I could make out a saddle 2.before molting you could see a small gap between the head and body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Honestly I would not worry. When is the last time they were berried, had shrimplets, and then molted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuri Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I do have the same "problems" with my high selective bred spotted heads.. they haven't got berried once since i bought them.. (i think i bought it 5 months ago?) I hope the spring/summer will change this. And the other "low" spotted heads only couple berried female's last year when winter was starting.. since then not a berried one.. once again i hope they will start breed again in the summer ?
