I'd move to Hawaii if Opae Ula would be my close neighbors!
A dedicated forum and online store for the Opae ula shrimp!
Nice!
Why wouldn't the Opae Ula share his food? Because he was a little shellfish 
Just another shot of one of the mothers that is berried, i have also turned my heater up to 80deg F which should warm the water up to around 77 - 78 deg F water temp. They seem to be hanging around the heater now

The main breeder tank #03 is now sitting at 25 deg C (77 deg F) as opposed to the previous 21 deg C (69ish deg F) and the shrimps seem to be alot more active, i will keep updates coming in the following weeks and see if this increases breeding.

That's good news! The outcome will leave many miniature mouths to feed.

I went to check on my main breeder tank #03 and noticed one of the berried mom shrimps has dropped all but one of her eggs, shes the pale pink one of the two. Now whether this is because its her first batch of eggs or because ive been messing around with the tank and hair algae im not sure but the other red mom still has all her eggs up to now.
Heres the red mom with her eggs!
And heres the pink mom shrimp whos dropped most of hers
On a lighter note i noticed one of the previous batch of shrimplettes hanging out on the macroalgae! Its so cute lol:
The baby shrimp in the video is around 5 - 6 weeks old from the point where it became a free swimming shrimp (stage after the free floating larvae stage)

Would it necessarily be a bad thing for her to have dropped her eggs earlier than the others? Maybe the timing is not that important.
As for the second video; it's another one that I watch over and over.
