The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

Nice. Do you plan to capture the mom when ready and keep them in the marine tank? or try to capture the babies if you can find them into the marine tank?

I'm going to start by taking 50% of the larvae if they ever get to the free floating stage and add them to the marine tank. I will take the trial and error with changes from there to begin.

How large are these compared to the opae ula?

@Halocaridina probably double/triple the size, an inch maybe? I do have an Opae ula in their tank and i will try and get a photo of them sitting side by side... wish me luck

You might have better luck but I never saw them at the floating stage. One option is to trap/capture a mother in a breeder box, but that would be difficult in itself.

Any updates?
Or any close up shots of the berried moms?

Its feeding day tomorrow so i will try and get some new photos, The 3 or so with eggs only come out now when its feeding time lol.

Heres a few photos of todays feeding, sorry they are a day late There are still 3 - 4 females carrying eggs and one or two who have fanned out legs which may of dropped eggs or are showing signs of becoming berried

@Haduvokone Thanks, thats a good idea i may have to look into that. Ive started doing videos on youtube and adding an intro with the forums web address on it. Once i get the forum finished i will start advertising on other shrimp and aquarium forums

Nice
