Pass out the Cigars!!

I pruned the 58 tonight for a minor rescape and took the cuttings to do some bartering. I got some more nice Cherries, (one heavily berried) and a few more of the ones I think may be Minamis. I got home and went to acclimate them into the shrimp tank and- Suprise! Teeny shrimplets all over the place. One of the berried Cherries must have popped. The question I have is do Cherries die after the eggs hatch? I've never heard of anything about it, but I'm just curious. When I went to put some more plants in the shrimp tank I found a dead female. I don't know if it was one of the ones that was berried. It was kind of soft, so maybe it had a problem molting. I heard that sometimes happens.

Anyway, they're so small they fit right through the holes in the divider. At least I know they'll be big enough to net back to the "right" side before they're ready to breed. They must not be that old, theyr have very little color and are approximately 3 mm.

Needless to say I'm psyched! I've had one or two babies survive in the 58, but to look into the 10 and see more and more of them every time is a hoot.
I just hope I didn't do a dumb thing by geting another berried Cherry. I already have one berried and the spawn that just happened too. I know there will be losses, so I guess I needn't worry about having too many.
