Guten Morgen!
I was just doing my morning tank maintenance when I noticed that one of my berried amanos was, well no longer berried!
sure enough.. the tank is full of little larval stage amanos!
I've included photos, but I don't have much time before I have to leave for work, so they aren't all that great.. In fact, the larval shrimp look very much like powdered fry food floating in the tank...
you can view the photo album here:

I'll be pulling the plants and switching to salt when I get home from work tonight.. I'll also try to keep a log here of how things are going with the young as they metamorphosise and grow.
