christinenha Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hey all, It's been about 6 or 7 weeks now since she berried. Her babies hatched about 3 weeks ago, and I haven't noticed her growing a new saddle at all. Should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Nope. Each shrimp has it's own time to saddle. Some saddle right away or during preggo, others takes awhile to saddle again. Crazyfishlady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yeah my cherries seem to saddle while pregnant and get reberried usually within a week of giving birth. But they are the rabbits of shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinenha Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yeah, for the past few months, she's saddled up immediately before or right after her eggs hatching. It's been quite some time since her last batch has hatched, so I'm wondering why. It's just odd, that's all. =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyeGuy411 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Other people have posted about shrimp breeding slowing down or stopping in the winter months. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? aquariumlover10 and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Could be there metabolism slowing from it being colder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
