I'm not sure how well this ghost shrimp breeding thing is gonna work. :( First there are the little white wormies all over the breeding tank, and the more I read online, the more I think this may not work the way we had hoped. By the reading I have done, ghost shrimp are easy to breed, but hard to raise, unless you have a pond. Ummmmm pond? We don't have room for a pond in our apartment. LOL Explains why I am seeing fry die. So we are thinking of trying cherry shrimp, because from the research my bf did on them (some of us have internet access at work :p) the conditions we have are much more suitible for cherry shrimp. So the shrimp breeding saga continues. LOL If anyone has any advice, please, feel free to share!

:iagree: And Cherry Shrimp are frightneningly easy to breed! I purchashed 17 (from someone on this site) maybe a few weeks ago and have 5 females carrying eggs already. www.petshrimp.com is a very good resource.

Thank you everyone for all the info! We decided we are going to try the cherry shrimp too, because we just like them. :D We ordered them yesterday. I do have one question that I cannot seem to find the answer to: Do cherry shrimp eat their young too, like ghost shrimp? I'm really hoping not.

As far as the ghost shrimp are going, I am not sure. All I can spot now is 2 babies, but they could be hiding too. We have another preganant one, so we shall see what happens. We are still working on it. :)

Not that I'm aware of. I have 5 females with eggs about due so I can tell you for sure by the end of the week! :D
