Rockadoodle Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 So stared a TB tank a month and a half ago and I had my first(and only) berried shrimp on April 14th. A few days ago which would put it at 30 days I noticed the eggs were gone so hopefully that means they all hatched. Now I have been searching the tank when I can to try and spot any babies and so far I've seen zero. The tank has okho stones, cholla and some moss so there are plenty of hiding spots. But my concern is shouldn't I of seen one by now or am I being hasty in assuming zero survived somehow. Is there a grace period like a week before they might explore. Anyone have any tricks on luring them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 No tricks here, but I can tell you that sometimes you are just not there at the right moment. There have been times where I only see one shrimplet, then the next day I see five, then none. Patience is a major key to shrimpin'.

Rockadoodle Posted May 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Yea usually with my pfr they are easy to spot and again when I had mischlings in a previous tank using breeder boxes helped. Went au natural this time and am very antsy and excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newellcr Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Sometimes the babies can really hide. It can be embarrassing how large the babies can be when you finally find them... Currently, I am in a situation where I can spend time looking several times a day. Still the babies go unseen even with glasses and a magnifying glass. Hang in there.
