Do you have any tips? My previous batch of eggs and larvae did well. I did a 50% water change in case of contaminants so hopefully I can rule that out for the future.

The second tank is now cycling. I'm thinking of putting the larvae from the next hatch in there so I can watch them grow separately. This tank also has a removable lid and is rectangular, which will make it easier to transfer shrimp in and out. It also has a lovely fake rock with hidey -holes. It's made of marine safe resin and I think it looks lovely.

Not really news but I spotted a shrimp chowing down on the algae that encrusts the plastic plant. He may be a bit pale (this one always is, even when the others are bright red) but he likes a fresh salad!

Two free swimming larvae spotted today! I could see some of the others actively wriggling free as well so I'm sure there will be others soon.

That’s great to hear! Congratulations, yeah they will be released over the next 2 or 3 days give or take.
