i got a breeder net box thingy today for my shrimp, its hanging in my 20g. i have a bit of java moss in there and a green been. put in 2 pregnant rcs that i could catch and when they have the babies theyll go back in the 20. anybody tried this before? i would just leave all the babies in the tank to fend for themselves but im gonna need shrimp to populate another tank in a new weeks so i thought i could save money by increasing the survival chances of the babies.

someone on another forum told me they have done it with shrimp and had success

ive read that if you can stick a needle through the holes in the netting baby shrimp can get through. is this true?

i took all four preggo females out of the breeder. 2 had lost a little bit of their color and they werent very lively. i sorta felt bad for them and ive been seeing lots of baby rcs in the tank the past couple days so i know the babies had a chance at makin it

ya as soon as i let mine out of the breeder they were completely back to normal, i was happy for them. i counted like 14 babys of various sizes today and theres probably many more i cant see. i dont think im gonna put rcs in the new tank anyways so the ideas out. i think im gonna stock it with yellow shrimp and blue tigers

dude who cares if you cant differentiate for a couple weeks lol. i think it would look sweet to have a really green planted tank then these bright yellow and bright blue shrimp everywhere. i cant wait to get some. whered you get your yellows and blues?
