These are the best pictures of the eggs I was able to get last night. Here is the female: Then here, when she is backlit, you can see a darker spot under her abdomen that are her eggs: I'm guessing these are from the spawn after the last hatch (so around 4-1-2014), based on how big she is in the pleopod region

I had another hatch last night. Collected and set up the usual way (for me). I also did a water change on the older batch; I had about 20 at day 13 and there was a very noticeable size difference between them. Some are still quite tiny, and some seem huge in comparison to them.

Another hatch last night and it looked to be more larvae than I have ever gotten with these before. I still have the previous two batches going as well, but they are combined into one container. The four juveniles I got from my first attempt are doing well and growing quickly. I'll try to remember to get a pic this week

Had a hatch on Saturday night (5-3-2014) that seemed pretty large, but they don't seem to be in great shape. I think the bubbles on the snagger were too strong because they were all really squashed against the mesh when I found them yesterday morning. Regardless, I set them up as I usually do--in an inverted 3L bottle with nhbbs and rigid airline tubing.

The females all seem to have a broken stripe near the tail, whereas the males stripe in the same location is intact. I can try to get better pics to show it. I don't know if they can change sexes though. I suspect they may. I have four juveniles that all showed the male stripe pattern, and then one of them got a broken/female stripe....I am waiting for more to settle from my latest attempts to see what happens.

Here are 60DPS pics and also some pics showing how to sex them. The largest shrimp is the female (bottom of the pic). Near her tail you can see she has a broken stripe, and all the males (the small ones) have a full stripe.
