ChuckNorris,

If I may ask... why is it that you lost so many at first? Were you able to pinpoint this?

If my Ph is just around 6.8, would a layer of crushed coral be a good buffer to add Ph and hardness for these little guys?

Congrats on breeding them! That is truly exciting to hear!

Thanks!

I lost many on the first batch because the process of shipping was detrimental to their health. They were shipped from Indonesia then shipped right away to my house. So I lost a total of 7 shrimp. The four that remained are very healthy right now.

I just got 14 Maroons or red gold flake from him. 1 Doa and 3 more have died within the first week. This is way better of a survival rate than the last group so far.

Crushed Coral will definitely help to raise your ph, as far as hardness you will just have to track the gh and kh after the coral and see what happens.

From the first female that was berried I have counted as many as 11-13 babies. That has to be near perfect survival rate for the young.

I will take photos soon of the harlequins babies I have in my tanks. They are all over the place. Plus other species' babies like goldflake, redstripes, etc.
