So slow I am thinking about selling them all and moving on to something else.. I don't understand all the talk I hear about these shrimp growing so fast they take over a tank. It's going to be 9 month before my baby shrimp get full grown.. :confused:
 
I haven't had any luck with RCS either. I started with 30 and the numbers have slowly just dwindled... I've seen a couple saddled females, but never any berried ones... :(
 
I bought 20 off msjnxed about 2 months ago and I just had my 1st female hatch her berries. :D But I've got many other saddled females, without berries. My males just don't seem so in the mood....
 
My temp stays at 80F and PH is 7.4.
 
I just saw my first baby shrimp 2 nights ago. I wish the other females would hurry and berry!

I'm not seeing any saddled females, not to mention any berried. I've only lost one of the original fifteen which I got two months ago, but I was hoping to have some little ones coming along by now.

Am I being too impatient?
 
I think if I'm going to wait this long for something to reproduce, I will choose something else that is a little more cooler then cherry shrimp :evil_lol:
 
You sure you have both genders? How big are they now? They really should be reproducing for you. What are you feeding and how often?
