Hey, I'm Sarah
and this is my first time here. So hello to everyone
Anyways..I bought a yellow bellied slider and decided, along with my feeder guppies, to get him some ghost shrimp. When i got them and put them into the tank I naturally spent like all night, since im an insomniac, researching ghost shrimp and everything about them that I could read. Then I figured out that two of my shrimp were pregnant and so I felt horrible. I'm a sucker and I didn't want my turtle eating the pregnant fish and killing all the babies, so long story not so short
i moved them into my tank with my guppy fry. I read on some of the forums that it's really hard to keep ghost shrimp babies alive. So I mean, I'm trying but I didn't have my hopes up. And now I have like a ton of babies in a 2.5 gallon tank. A filter big enough for a 3 gallon tank, with a pre-filter on it. I also have a heater in there, a plant growing, and a clay head with moss growing on top. I know there were like tons of little babies in the shrimp. I was watching them the other day. And I saw like maybe 5 babies so far. I feed the guppy fry ground up fish flakes, and i put a bit extra for the pregnant momma and the baby shrimp. Since I've never done this before. I was wondering if I'm doing anything wrong and/or if I could do something more to make things better. Both of he shrimp had their babies. I took one of the shrimp out because I saw that her belly was empty, but the other one still has like 4 shrimp inside that I see. So for now I left her in. I've seen the babies around the tank recently and they're so cute
So yeah, any tips, comments, suggestions...that would help :thumbsup:Thanks
