Lifecycle:
Mature female shrimp will become ‘Berried’ and seek a male to fertilise her eggs, she will carry these eggs for 25-35 days before the eggs hatch and become Shrimplet’s, the Shrimplet’s will take around 60 days to reach a Juvenile stage where they will start developing a colour. It will take an additional 15 days on average for these juveniles to reach an adult stage and within a week sexual maturity ready to continue the same cycle.
Mixed colour shrimp will often produce different colours eventually defaulting to the standard brown colouration, to breed specific colours i.e. Cobalt Blue’s then you must separate them by their colours.
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 18 - 27 Celsius
PH: 6.5 - 7.5 PH
Carbonate Hardness: 3 - 5 DKH
General Hardness: 7 - 9 GDH
