    Cool Pregnant CRS Shrimp! :]

    Well guys! I got 3 pregnant girls!

    One is an S grade and the others are SS. I even have few SSS grades in my tank as well! I'm pretty excited! This is their first pregnancies so I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped some eggs.

    One has been pregnant probably for more than a week.

    The other about 3 to 4 days ago and the last one was just discovered today!

    Currently right now I have a sponge to cover the intake of my filter.. but I fear that the holes are still too big for when the babies are born.. Anyone got any recommendations on what I could cover it with??

    Can't wait to be a new mom! :]

    Sponge over the intake is fine. They usually carry the eggs for 30 days. Congrats shrimp are addictive.

    If you're worried, remove the filter and just run a sponge filter or two.

    Your stockings will work to cover a more porous filter if needed.

    If I were to buy now I would probably only buy 5 as they are VERY pricy for my range. Haha.

    But they are just so cool looking! I love how their colors just go so great together!

    Currently I only have 1 shrimp tank with endlers, threadfin rainbows and CPDs. If anyone is looking for fish mates for a shrimp tank I have not had bad luck with these guys. :]

    hey.. we could split some shipping .. i would get like 10.. splitting the shipping of overnite/$30 would be easier.. and i am sure NICOLE would jump in on this too
