Congrats! Is the 1 month tank? Dont need to care for them, just leave them alone and hopefully they become little shrimp after 2 weeks.

Thats great news! Try not to disturb them and you dont need to do anything to help with the eggs/larvae as @opae ula related suggested. Congratulations! :wink: :smile: :happy:

1 1/2 months! Ah alright! Do I feed them as usual? 2 weeks? I thought it'll take a month for them to be hatched?

Okay! What happens after the babies are out? Do I still feed everyone normally? I use spirulina powder

When she releases them as larvae they will stay as larvae for 2 weeks, she will carry the eggs for 4 - 5 weeks. They don't require food as larvae as they have and use an yolk sac to feed which they are born with.

So 1 month later she will release the eggs, then can I still feed the adults normally? Will they disturb the babies floating on top because I feed them powder food.

I havent seen any of my adults bump into my larvae so i dont think its an issue, just go steady on he food because you want your water conditions to be nice and healthy.
