Seriously :)

Have you ever seen shrimp mating? I just wanna be sure that that's what I saw two Amanos doing today.

The little guy (male) on top of the big guy (female) and looked like he was trying to swim in place. It was rather funny :)

Zat it?

Roan...Ive seen my cherry shrimp do it, and the male gets on the female and does like you described kinda swims in place then a few days later the female ends up "knocked up"

Thank you!

That's what I suspected, but golly gee their sex organs are in the most gosh darn place! Wouldn't you agree? ;)

I’m thinking that a lot of them lay eggs

You might want to look at this page http://www.fishpondinfo.com/shrimp2.htm I do know there is some info on this but not too much.
Thanks, nailed, but that's not near as much fun as posting a message with a subject title that EVERYONE will read ;)

Roan, I think it's a pretty good thread, since we're human and naturally curious about all kinds of things. With my new foal, my high school students have been asking me all kinds of questions about how horses do it, but the funniest one was "How do elephants do it?" They couldn't comprehend that mammals that large can mount one another!! Then they started on snakes, which I know not--I told them they have vents, but that 's my limit!! Shrimp--LOL!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
