More pics. These shrimps seem to like an unheated tank that's around 72F - and LOTS of moss! I'm going to try and catch the next female I see carrying eggs and put her in the snail breeder tank. Then I'll have a good supply of younger shrimp.

The egg carrying GS that I moved to the fry tank w/the snails. Crossed fingers!

Cool project! Hope they hatch out for ya!

Just in case you didn't already know, Ghosties are low order breeders. This means that the young will hatch in a larva state. With Ghosties, this is generally short. I believe it is 24hrs if memory serves me right. Depending on the species of Ghost, it could require brackish or freshwater to morph.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Very cool! I've always found these guys to be very interesting! I can't wait to see what happens with the eggs! Definitely keep us posted.

i think those guys can kill fish.

They are sold as feeders in most LFS.

I had a 10gallon with these once .There was alot of Java moss in it . They bred very well for me . BUT , do not put any fish that are not herbivores in with them . Even the juvie guppies will hunt down and consume the newborn shrimps . That is experience talking by the way . They did fine with BN Plecos and cory in with them.
