A happy coincidence . . . :-)

That was super interesting and very cool to watch I'm waiting for my cherry shrimps eggs to come out...can't wait to see all the little shrimplets.

[@TheDave333]

I love finding baby shrimp in the tank. It's a real thrill to know they're happy and they're making babies.

[@mingdong917]

i saw this in my srimp tank another day. i thought they were fighting n dying🤣

Well that is rare, I saw some stuff I haven’t seen before, and I got a big laugh. Some of that footage reminded me of being in nightclubs in the late 80s at 2am lol Great video mate

[@TheDave333]

Thanks ! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and saw some things you've never seen before. I remember the 80s nightclub scene too, and I have to say, I'm happier now as a married man. I'd rather stay home with the wife, the kids, and the fish, than go out. I guess it's sad in a way... lol :-)

[@garrypeak4277]

@@TheDave333 No mate, I hear you. If you remember the 80s nightclubs, we are probably close in age. Just Thinking about those days makes me tired lol. Now, by 10pm, give me a cookie and a glass of chocolate milk, and I’m ready for bed lol I’m happy at home, fooling with vintage audio/video, gaming and the fish. I’m just glad I chose such cheap hobbies…NOT! I’ve always wanted shrimp but never took the plunge. So watching that breeding bit was Interesting Didn’t want to kill stuff, so haven’t tried them. Basically had the one 3Ft tank, which is a mutt guppy farm and been running for years. I throw a new strain In 6 months to freshen it up. I’ve just set up a large rack in the garage (under protests), and have 5 empty 20g on the top shelf ready to go. No idea why I’m going to do tho. Maybe shrimp in one of them. There you go, I wrote war and peace! Lol. Cheers..

@@sandidsaman7723 having so many shrimps from the start boosts the chance of having fertil females i guess, at least for me 😅

[@chrispeters2645]

A brilliant video that manages to be both informative and hilarious at the same time (not to mention a bit raunchy in places 😂). I've been keeping cherry shrimp for almost two years now. I started with a dozen shop bought, initially in a 5 gallon Fluval Spec, but they're such prolific little breeders, there's now hundreds spread through multiple tanks. I try to keep the best quality individuals in one species only tank and can always tell, even from across the room, when a female has molted, because I'll see the males zooming madly around the tank trying to find her, thanks to her 'special perfume' driving them absolutely bonkers.

I've been keeping Neocaridina for a while, one of my all time favorite aquatic critters. This is the best hatching/first few seconds of life footage I've seen on them! Thanks. But 1 question, how do the eggs transfer from the saddle to the undercarriage of the tail? I'm assuming the saddle is somehow connected to the digestive system and she "poops" them out under her tail? No idea lol

[@TheDave333]

@Bruce The Snoose There's a special pore underneath the tail / swimmerets where the eggs leave her body. It's not part of the digestive system. It's part of the reproductive system, and it's the same pore where the male's sperm enters the female. As the eggs leave her body, she positions them where they need to be using her back legs. If you haven't seen this video, it might help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qF6mq6Gvr8mNY8k
