Actually I dont have one. I have placed the shrimps 3 weeks ago after cycling the tank for a month.

So far all good after the first death. The rest seems to be in good condition

my 2 other friends started their new tank, everything is new including water n deco. No cycling done, pour in shrimps right away, berried 2-3 months after. While my tank has no berry shrimps so far =(

Start a new thread and list your water parameters and tank details and I’m sure we can change that .

What is your exact set up? Yours can be completely different than theirs. There's so many variables to consider. I have a simple jar in the house that's already had 6+ berried females this summer. My tanks in the garage have stopped breeding over the summer. This is probably due to the temperatures going up and down and not being consistent. The jar is very specific. No feeding, no moving it around, not even topping it off since it has an air tight lid. I open it once a week. That's all. It gets direct sunlight 5-6 hours a day. No excess algae. I have no room in the house for my tanks. If I could I would.

my water parameters were all good, only thing is my water temp is 30-32c most of the time. My friends' tanks were not even tested.

My tank stopped breeding pretty much at those temps.

i have changed my tank and setup, it is stable at 29c. Would they have a chance to breed at 29c?

Try it and see, they prefer stable tank conditions like any other shrimp species. Good luck.
