OOPS! Sorry guys...they are RCS that I got from actionjc (actioncia)!

YEA congrats I know the feeling after going through 3 batches of rcs before any breed. Now get ready for the population explosion:drool:

Congrad! Once they get going, there is no stopping them. LOL

I'm not really sure if I'm just lucky or what. I actually set up a 10g tank the day before I got my shrimp. I put a few bunches of java moss in there with some drift wood and a small HOB filter. 1 of my shrimp was berried so I put her in the 10g. I can barely count how many I have now. I really think the moss is key.
I also think once you have a berried RCS you will definitely get babies

Can't wait for my population explosion...there's an LFS around that says they'll buy em

I think my biggest mistake was not having an HOB. I only had a sponge filter in one corner, and a Corner filter in the other. At first there was lots of water movement, but as the filter matured, not as much water movement. As suggested by actioncia, I added the HOB, and then I got eggs. I think in my case the HOB (well, a few other changes also)was the trick. I do feed every other day or so because I can not seem to grow algae...or they eat it faster than I see it. I have snails, so I am not worried about over feeding...I also am getting a Weather Loach for my 55g, so I will feed the extra snails to him/her.

...counted 3 yesterday!!!
