good luck;), maybe also try giving them plenty of cover/floating plants/moss to make them feel safer? berried shrimp usually only drop when stressed, scared, or moved......

I came home tonight to another moult in the tank.

Looking closer I found another berried lady.

So thats 3 in a bout a week or so now :D She looks to have kept most of hers on her so fingers crossed.

Hey guys,

Thought id give you all another update, I have had some more success touch wood.

There are now lots of little shrimplets getting around in my tank.

Hard to say how many but on one count I managed to see 9 all at once. I just hope now they can survive, grow and then the girls will do their thing and give me more.

Some pics that have been taken just recently are in this album http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y4/drunkenbushman/Shrimp II/.

Hope you enjoy and again thank you to everyone who offered me advice, tips and help!
