She "laid" eggs last night or the night before.

Hi Bo, this is really nice to hear, congrats! :2thumbsup

Sounds like you're off to a good start with them. Wish I had lots of room to keep as many nice species as you have.

Congratulations !! I am eagerly waiting for my CRS to get horny an multiply.

BTW, can you kindly share what water temperature, PH, etc of your tank ?

Regards.

That's great news! I am still awaiting my first clutch that is conceived in the tank (had some shrimplets from a pregnant one that I introduced into the tank) after about a month.

Temperature: 25-25,8°Celcius
pH: 8
KH: 5°dH
NO2: < 0,3 mg/l

The pH is a bit high. Hopefully it won't affect the hatching of the eggs.

The high pH doesn't seem to bother the shrimps.
Today there's 3 CRS females carrying eggs :D

Some shrimp guru says, that higher Ph affects percentage of surviving babies.

Finally there is shrimplets :)
Today I could count 10-12 shrimplets.
They are 2-2,5 mm. long.

pH and whole bunch of variables (water parameters, tankmates, etc.) will affect the survival rate of shrimp, and that's not just limited to CRS. We can't truly know unless some controlled experiments are conducted. Not many of us have the time nor resources to do this. What I say to that is, if you find something that works, keep it going. :)
