Rob the berried shrimp in #367 is she from Texas? If yes that puts her at a minimum of 26 days. Based on the eggs looks like a week to go. Nice pictures. Using the cell phone macro?

No, she's one of my home grown "pregnancies", first noticed on January 14th. The one from Texas is in the 10 gallon tank.

Photos taken with my cell camera zoomed in. Just recently received a closeup lens. Not positive if any photos using it have been posted.

One of the bookshelf mamas using the new closeup lens. It would rather focus on the algae on the tank...

A closeup of the lowest egg in the photo in the previous post:

Some more of the same... But scroll down to see something awesome!

I found all three bookshelf mamas a few minutes ago. Here's the first one:

Here's the second one:

... seems I forgot to take one of her because I found the third one...

**Rob in Puyallup** · 02-06-2013, 04:13 AM

Here's the third one. As seen without the closeup lens:

**Rob in Puyallup** · 02-06-2013, 04:15 AM

With the closeup lens. Can you see what's happening?

**Rob in Puyallup** · 02-06-2013, 04:17 AM

If you look carefully you'll see eyes and some tails. Seems they're hatching and hanging tight to Mom:

**Rob in Puyallup** · 02-06-2013, 04:19 AM

Happy grandpa here!

**Rob in Puyallup** · 02-06-2013, 04:27 AM

Cool!

**shrimpnmoss** · 02-06-2013, 06:17 AM

Nice congrats! My Opaes would be so much happier in your tank.

Grrrrrrreat news. Love those close up views.

Shrimpies are still clutching tight to their mom this afternoon.
