AMAZING and Strange Survival Story

[thief]

Quite a story but definetly pluasible!

They do not need salt water or brackish water. They just need the right conditions which makes these guys proven difficult to breed. But given the right amount of determination and patience. You end up with this:


These are some of my pictures I took when I had witnessed a successful hatch from egg to a post larvea stage from one of my ghosts shrimp.
Unfortunatly I had an ammonia outbreak which killed them about a week later.

My ghosties are breeding successfully in my 29g tank. I have a dozen white clouds, a rubberlip pleco, and three mystery snails in it. The ghosties were meant to be cheap scavengers. I have some plastic baby hide out plants along with some sprigs of real water sprite for when I tried to breed cherries but failed miserably. They seem to survive past the larval stage in the plants and the white clouds primarly stay to the middle top so no real predators on the bottom.

Just to correct this point.

They're that cheap because they're WC in the USA.

As for the story, its somewhat normal due to their life cycle...

That's exactly what the baby shrimp looked like. I haven't seen it in a while.
