Answer 2

I have 3 female ghost shrimp and they are on their 3rd batch of eggs. The most important thing is to put something over your filter so they don't get swept in. The babies are very small. I also feed them liquid fry food.I got it at Petsmart. When they first hatch, they float around the tank, then they seem to disappear for awhile. But they have only found a place to hide until they go through some molts. Make sure you have plants or rocks where they can hide. I thought all of mine must have died, but a week ago they started coming out and swimming around a little, tho they still mostly stay hidden. They are still very small. I have counted about 6, so a lot didn't make it for one reason or another. I have never seen the parents bother them, and sometimes they swim right up to them and touch them, so I don't think you have to remove the adults. They won't hurt the babies. That's about all I've done. If for some reason they don't make it the females will become pregnant again in a couple of days so you can try again. Good luck!

Answer 3

you ought to attempt to get the shrimp removed from the fish, and ensure which you have a sponge filter out on your filter out intake. The fish will somewhat consume the toddler shrimp. in case you shop them effectively removed from fish, there are actually not many different issues you will possibly be able to desire to do, yet shop the water high quality up!

maintain a stable temperature, feed them normallly, dont do anything weird lol
