I bought 10 ghost shrimp today brought them home, one had eggs in it, now she is upside down and her stomach is kinda doing the worm only really tiny like, just kinda wiggling, is it time? Or is she dying? She is definately still alive because when i went down to check with a net she swam away help!
 
Oh, I will keep ya posted... :(

hahaha no. But the shrimp seems fine now exept she is just sitting there and I CAN SEE THE EGSS WIGGLING!!! Ae they hatching? Are there any mixes I can make from home ingredients that would feed them?
 
You won't see baby ghost shrimp for anothe rmonth or so. Ghost shrimp go through a larva phase, meaning they hatch, swim out to the water column and feed as a little tiny bug. After about a month, the free floating larva turns into a miniature shrimp. And chances are, that your filter will suck them up before they transform.
 
Oh well tahts cool
