Hi Ed,

I have amano shrimps... Just not in my zeb tank. I remember researching the same thing when I first joined the forum and found that amano shrimp are not suitable for breeding setups because they can and will eat eggs. Cherry shrimp are ok as they are not too boistrous.

I don't have a picture ATM. But I can take one and post it if she doesn't find a home by tomorrow.

Being approx. 3" would indicate a 2-3 year old... But I can't say with certainty as I have only had the fish for about four months.

That's a great picture... Well done!
You deserve some luck.

I don't think it will be very long before you see some more activity from the adults... I have faith that in the next 3-6 weeks there will be more eggs. Fingers crossed.

Maybe the temprature question is one I may answer in the near future... My group is not of breeding age yet so this may take a while. LOL :lol:
