This was a great video. I've had a few ghost shrimp for about 6 months now, but I had no idea about most of what I just learned. Definitely the most informative video I've found about them.

wow, excellent video and very educational!!!! thanks for this :)

[WeirdAnimalGirl]

I liked the video and the information included. I had two pregnant ones before, they got sucked in, but it wasn't on purpose but I decided to try and breed Ghost Shrimp but wanted to be well informed on the whole process, and requirements first.

Not long at all, because this species' life cycle itself is rather short. Their life expectancy, if I don't remember wrong, is less than a year & a half, so the gestational period has to be short accordingly :)

Excellent very informational video. Keep up the good work. I have a pregnant one I bought today. Do you know how long the gestational period is ?

[Excellence337]

great video , how you reprodcue de baby shrimps, need something special on the water? i have 10

[ppplll000999]

@juanjesuschong I did not do anything except to provide them with food & shelter and wait for them to mature & start dating :). If you want to see their babies fast, you might like to buy some pregnant ones from the pet shop.

nice vid

5/5

btw

how do you feed the baby ghost shrimps

and what do you feed them?

thank you

[ppplll000999]

I groud up a tiny bit of usual fish food into fine powder & sprinkle sparingly onto the water above the baby shrimps. If you see them chasing the sinking powder, you know you succeeded. Also, I scraped on the algae growing on the glass of the tank, to create a cloud of ' green water ' food colloid, close-by & above the babies.

The larval planktonic stage of the Palaemonetes paludosus species only lasts a few days before the larvae metamorphose into post-larvae (miniature shrimp) and assume a benthic lifestyle.

nice! lanchesteri right?

[ppplll000999]

No, these are not Macrobrachium lanchesteri which originate in Asia. These are American glass (ghost)shrimps or Palaemonetes paludosus which are less aggressive than lanchesteri shrimps.

[angryuspiratus]

ah ok they look pretty much identical to the lanchesteri(which are also called glass/ghost over here) hence the confusion.
