(how long have you had the pair before this event)

~2.5 months. They may have been spawning before that, however it was difficult to find/track them in a relatively large tank considering how small they are
|
Feeding
|
Food: |
Frozen mash, live blackworms, pellets, mysis. I have seen them eating live blackworms but never really witnessed them actually eating other items, though I'm sure they were. I saw one fight an amphipod for a piece of food and lose.
|
Feeding Schedule:
|
At least 2x a day

Not measured, but very small

Yellowish

Not able to count
|
Description:
|
Eggs are slightly yellowish, look circular, but are quite small so it was difficult to actually tell. There didn't seem to be a huge clutch as they weren't falling out from the pleopods like eggs do for some other shrimp species.
|
Location:
|
The eggs are held under the abdomen of the female.
