Well, this morning I was greeted early on with my parcel from the snailshop people......
I now have:-
2 'normal' MTS
2 Mahogany MTS
2 Spike Tail MTS
2 Dominican Republic MTS
Lovely looking little creatures, nice colours, and all were very alive and active, even while still in their packaging.
On putting them in the tank, one of my female cherry shrimp promptly found them and spend a good few minutes giving their shells a thorough cleaning!!
They gonna be hard to find when they get hidden in the gravel though I think, some of the gravel pieces are bigger than the snails - I assume this is 'cos they are fairly young and need to grow yet?
The trumpets are only ~1cm long, and the spike tails & dominicans are only ~5mm long.
On another note, I have seen 2 definate juvenile cherry shrimp, and 2 or 3 little baby shrimplets (not sure if I saw same one twice!) so it looks like my cherries are breeding too
I havent noticed any females with eggs though....... they do lay eggs which hatch don't they?? (not livebearers)
