New shrimp tank

I now have baby shrimp. It appears that out of the 10 shrimp I bought, only 1 is a female. She was saddled almost as soon as I got them. Then she became berried about 2 and a half weeks ago and today I noticed the babies. The female is already becoming saddled again.

I also have 2 baby fish in there. I still have no idea what they are. I first saw them almost a month ago. Obviously, when I added plants to the tank they came with eggs. They could be from my own tank or from other peoples', from whom I bought some plants. I'm starting to think they may be Boesemans. Anyone know what Boeseman fry look like?

You got fish hitch hikers? Don't see that every day :)
 
wow thats kool. fish hichys! I had that happen in my pond. I put some pond plants in a 90 gallon preform to grow out and months later I found many baby koi I didnt know were in there. I guess they grew up on mosquito larva . They are rehomed in the big pond now.
happy day for you to find fish babys!
 
My rainbow fish are very prolific and lay eggs on everything. Every time I take plants out of my tanks and put them into a shrimp tank or some other tank I see babies pop up. The only problem is i have a bunch of different kind of rainbows so who knows what combo the babies actually are.
