All, I'm new the forum but have kept tanks for over 20 years (salt and fresh) but am new to inverts. I have had six whisker shrimp for about six months now and I believe I have four females since they are frequently berried. However, I never see any little shrimps? They are in a very heavily planted 90 gallon with a mixture of tetras (probably around 40 or so?). The shrimp appear very healthy and get along fine with a handful of Amanos that I have in there and have never caused me any anguish over killing fish. The females are about 1.5 inches long, males probably two or more.
I am debating grabbing one of the berried females and putting her in a bottle with some flow holes in it and seeing what happens. If I put one in a breeder net she'll just climb out (tried that). What are your thoughts?
