Ghost Shrimps Berried

[Ficious]

i was checking my cherries for eggs today and noticed one of my ghost shrimp has little green eggs under her. how long will they take to hatch? they currently live in a 5 gallon with a baby dwarf puffer...i removed her, my question is will she be ok to have the babies in a 3 gallon with a few white clouds?


thanks

I've not kept ghosts but the other shrimp I have had held their eggs for about 3 to 4 weeks before giving birth.

Unfortunately i think the minnows will probably eat at least a few of the babies... 3G doesn't give them much space to hide and they will only be 1 or 2mm as new borns.

The ghosts also give birth to larvae that float around. In a tank with fish these will almost certainly be eaten.
