Apache's Shrimpy Adventure!

Apache - to follow on from what we were saying in another thread (Rustle's platy thread) when a female cherry shrimp is old enough to breed, there will be a paler saddle shaped mark on her back. It could be white, yellow or greenish. This is her ovaries filling with eggs and is something to look for when trying to work out which sex your shrimps are. Females' abdomens are quite deep and rounded at the bottom edge - females carry their eggs under their abdomens so they need room for them. Males have much thinner, flatter abdomens.
When a female is ready to release her eggs she emits a pheromone and all the males in the tank start swimming round looking for her. The first time I saw this I thought something was wrong as it's so unlike their usual behaviour.

Since their natural diet includes small invertebrates, they would probably eat baby shrimps. But if you have enough hiding places for the shrimps, you would probably have a self sustaining colony even if a lot of babies were eaten.

What other fish are in the same tank as the glass catfish?

Ah, sorry, I didn't realise they were in that tank.

You do realise that the rummies, neons, pandas and kuhlis put the tank at 216% stocked, and that's without adding the glass catfish as you haven't said how many there are. And the glass catfish need a tank at least 90 cm long.......
