Male

Female with Blue eggs

Obtained this pair through work, wild caught pair. I wanted to try the regular coral banded shrimp but I lost my female to problems with her molting before I had a chance to try to raise the fry. These showed up and I told myself I will get them if no one takes them by the end of my shift. so at 7:30 they were still there, and I bagged them up and took them home. They already had eggs before I got them home, so I may start with these eggs on trying to raise them or I will wait til the next batch to keep the reports on the same clutch as much as possible.
 

They finally have eggs again! woo hoo!

Updates?

Indeed, any hatch yet?

I'm also keeping a ripe female I got at a whlslr. Hopefully someone can raise this sp. GL Shannon!
