Shrimp UPDATE: The day has finally come!! So a couple of days ago I was looking at my tank and then I suddenly noticed, my female had no eggs! So I started frantically looking around the tank for baby shrimp fearing she had somehow dropped the eggs after like 1 or 2 weeks of carrying them. To my dismay I did not see a single tiny shrimp

But today as I was looking at the glass of my tank for Hydrato scrape off with the Mag-Float, I spotted one! At first it took me a while to "compute" what I was seeing but I got over it and realized these guys had been hiding from me for 2 days! I started to look around the tank and sure enough I counted 8 total. I am sure I have a lot more still hiding, I am so EXCITED! The mother is already saddled again and the other saddled female should be getting berried up anytime now

WOOT! Pictures will come soon! I was able to take a few pictures, only one shows a baby shrimp but it is a bit hard to see. The camera has no battery though so you guys will have to wait to see them!
