My ghost shrimp have eggs (5 Pics)

:nilly: My ghost shrimp have eggs now, i moved them to my QT tank it has nothing in it, what should i put in it for the ghost shrimp, what do they need to lay them on, and to have them hatch?

i really don't think that ghost shrimp need anything special to lay there eggs on. I have heard that ghost shrimp larvae need brackish water, but i am not sure. My ghost shrimp have had eggs loads of times but I have never seen any babies...

you won't be able to breed ghost shrimp past the egg stage without a proper brackish environment for the young.

I live in Florida and we have tons of these critters scavenging in our local freshwater lakes and canals. I catch them by the hundreds!

Sponge filters and tonnes of java moss are all you need. Keep the current very low since these little guys have trouble walking on bare glass (assuming there is no gravel in your QT).

That actually isn't true.

I personally have bred ghost shrimp without the use of putting them in a brackish tank.

Some ghost shrimp require it, some others don't. There are different types of ghost shrimp.

When I saw tiny ghost shrimp in my tank I was pretty happy, and they had grown up into bigger shrimp without the use of a brackish environment.
