I found and bought 2 more berried ghost shrimp and two "red banded" hopefully male ghost shrimp last night from our local Walmart. After acclimating them, I released them into the 10g tank...total of 3 females and 2 males (again...hopefully). After I released them, I saw 2 alive "infant" shrimp, and one dead (floating through water). My "older" female no longer has the eggs, but is still "fat" like she is carrying something...could these be her babies? I can't find the little ones this morning, so I hope either she picked them up our they are hiding in the now clean java moss. I can see the other 2 female have eggs. I don't know if I accidently caught these infants at Walmart (I catch my own fish...they even offered me a job :hihi: ) as to not stress them out during capture...
Any comments? because I can not see the eggs on the older female...could they have hatched and she is carrying the babies? This is my VERY first time even having shrimp, so any and all suggestions are welcome. Also, is there any special food to feed? The only fish in the tank are two 3w? old guppy fry...they will be moved as soon as they are big enough not to get eaten by the adult guppy.
