 |
|
Hi,
can anyone tell me how long does it take for RCS hatchlings to come of noticeable size.
Am asking because some of my shrimps were carrying eggs, now yesterday i saw tiny dot like creatures in the tank(dot with a transparent tail) . I was about the change the scape of the tank , since currently its just a tank with plants added as i got them.
So how long do i have to wait for them to grow so that i can take them out and rescape.
answers will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Asif |

they will take noticable size in 2 monce but the good thing and bad thng(for rescaping) is by that Tym there will be 2 more batches of shrimplets and your mother shrimps will be carrying shrimps......so if u are waiting to rescape until all of them grow..........  |

IME
changing the scape is a bad idea......you will lose a lot of shrimplets
and again adult shrimps will take more than a month to start breeding. |

| what i meant is not all shrimps will breed at the same...... tym when ever u see a group of ten adult shrimps u will find atleast 2 or 3 with eggs....my suggestion is move the adult shrimps to a reasonable container so that when the shrimplets grow u can move them and rescape the tank...... |

Thanks for you suggestions Sanket and Jabba. i guess i have to wait for the shrimplets to grow( 2 months quite a long time) , its quite strainful for the eyes to watch the tiny white dots  , in the meantime i will keep a check and transfer any berried female to another 2 feet tank which i am going to scape properly this time.  .
Infact i will post a pic here of my current setup so that you guys also get an idea what i am talking about.
Thanks again.
