Coral Banded Shrimp ?

Post by Kart Racer »

I have a pair of CBS in my tank. Tonight when feeding, I noticed one of them looks a lot fatter than the other, Is it possible that one is pregnant? If so, is it possible to raise the young?

Not the greatest pic but you can see the size difference in the two.

does look like the female has a clutch of eggs under her abdomen. You should be able to see her fan them every now and then, since they are attached to her pleopods.

The rest of your tank is going to feed well one night soon.
