Hey people,

Pitch black...? They're generally like a dark brownish color.
If the shrimp is just berried for the 1st few days, it should be dark brown. But in the case of yours is black is not usual. Try to observe whether will the eggs change to light colour for days to come.
the eggs will look dark brown/blackish will about a week before she gives birth then the eggs will lighten up. Yours sound normal to me
they are like dark brownish color...
what is the time of pregnancy for female CRS?
i guess she will give birth if 1-2 weeks..
about 30-40 days
The egg color in CRS/CBS starts as a general dark brown or even deep red. They will lighten up from orange to yellow and when they get very dark again is because of the developing shrimps eyes. you see them through the shell.
generally at temps of 71-72 F hatching occurs at 28 days, 73-74F 26 days
i would say that this is too long, i managed to see my CRS/CBS and it takes 21-22 days from the day i saw them with egges till their release.Originally Posted by kouki
having temperature at 22-23 Celsius (no heater)
I've never actually tracked it so I was guessing with my estimate of 30-40 days
