UPDATE:
I now have had my first berried (in captivity) female give birth! There are 7 newly hatched that I can see in my tank and perhaps a few more hidden. This is a exciting day for me and it was about 20 days from berry to birth.
I will indeed pay attention to survival rate as well and let you know how it goes. I was able to observe this from start to finish and this is further evidence these shrimp will be showing up as "captive bred" in the hobby soon and the destruction of their natural habitat will perhaps slow.
Cheers, Bill
