Cherry Shrimp Not Multiplying

It takes about 3-4 weeks to hatch depending on temperature.

Cool, cheers for that

How many should I expect from her?

Roughly 25-30. And they can become berried again very shortly afterwards. That's why people say they breed like rabbits

Wow, I wasn't expecting that much

Roughly how quickly do these little dudes grow? (to a cm or so)

And is there a reason that the pregnant shrimp is one of the smallest? And the other,
larger females arent? (or will they soon be?)

Thanks again,

I never really took much notice on how fast they grew when I had mine. At a guess, it probably takes about 6-8 weeks for them to get to 1 cm or so. Obviously it depends on how well they are fed and the temperature.

Not quite sure what the answer is to your second question. It's probably just a younger pregnant shrimp

lol cheers

I'm just wondering why the older ones (I got two batches, about 10 days apart) aren't pregnant yet?

Anyways, thanks again

Maybe the males you have just like 'em young

Next time I find a female with eggs in my tank I really want to put her in a breeding trap so I can actually see the small shrimp hatch and grow.

Oh yeah!

In the first batch I bought I had one pregnant female, but I gave her up for dead after not seeing her for
two weeks, well....

I have just noticed two small, clear shrimplets (is that the word?)

Just thought i'd share
