The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

I've spent the last few weeks of sunshine camping in Scotland, the tanks been fine, lights on a timer, heater on a thermostat and a good Algae growth so it's almost self sufficient. I've topped up with RO water and added a couple of drops of Spirulina + tank water to the 'hanging rock' when I've come home , to make new gold prospecting gear and re-supply, each time there's been a few 'berried' females swimming about, here's one I photoed today but as yet I've not seen any hatchlings ? I'm home for about a week, let the bank holiday pass, make a new sluice and tarp awning for the car then head back further north this time so hope to post more photos

Nice!

I’m glad yours are breeding well, mine have slowed down from all this hot weather we have had. It’s been high 20’s in my tank :(

@ Odin

Do you feel that when the temperatures rise the opae slow down on breeding?

Absolutely, the summer we have had this year has been crazy in the UK.

the tank was very busy this morning, counted at least x12 out with a few berried, x2 together here but could only get x1 in focus here's a few more photo's and something going on in the Cheato ? just thought I'd share

Lovely photos mate!

still cann't work out the 'jelly ball' one of the berried females deposited her eggs in other wise the tanks as busy as usual who needs a TV

Still lots of berried females swimming about but haven't seen any Larvae yet
