Red Cherry Shrimp


      Here is the 2 1/2 gallon tank that contains five adult shrimp, four females and one lucky male.  He is the much fainter colored shrimp in the black circle to the left.  Two of the females have dropped their babies, resulting in a count of over twenty this morning. Those two shrimp have not berried yet for their next round. The other two females, one on the filter and the other on the lower left are still carrying developing eggs.  I think I will let them go to baby drop, then probably remove all of the adults.


      Same five adults, but here you can just see the back end of a female in the circle.  The male ls at the top left of the plant clump, against the aquarium glass.


      This picture shows five of the baby shrimp in the circles.  As small as they are now, they are at least double the size they were last week.
