Mates in open water; the female attaches 100-500 fertilised eggs to her swimmerets, often inside a burrow. Eggs hatch after about 3 weeks; the young stay attached through two moults and remain with the mother up to eight weeks. Matures in as little as 3 months and can spawn year-round in warm climates.
One male and 2 females in a large tank with hides.
Large tank with caves and sand; separate female when berried.
Seasonal temperature changes and good feeding.
Usually 200-500 eggs (about 100 in small females, up to 500 in a 10 cm female); incubation about 21 days.
Juveniles are tiny crayfish; feed meaty foods and keep separate to prevent cannibalism.
Males have bigger claws than females. Sperm is released at the base of the male's 5th walking legs; the female's opening is at the base of the 3rd walking legs.
Typical for shrimp
Eggs are carried under the tail. Keep the water stable and don't move her.
After about 2–4 weeks tiny shrimp hatch. They graze on biofilm and moss.
Keep a sponge on the filter intake. Feed powdered shrimp food a little at a time.
They can breed themselves at about 3 months.
