They are tiny... like specks of white transparent thingy, hardly move, but they do twitch from time to time... bend their bodies and dart forward a bit.
Been already almost 3 days.. I don't know if they're starting to die already... they're too small to see dead bodies around. it says on the breeding guide that eggs fail to hatch in brackish/full salinity, so I'm not converting while the mother shrimp in there. You sure need to increase salinity slowly dom? All the guides I read say can just dump the zoes in full salinity. Need to convert back to freshwater slowly though.
I think they're just surviving on their yolk sac now. I read they don't feed in freshwater, so I guess they will start dying when their yolk sacs are exhausted. Need to convert to marine environment before then.
If this batch doesn't make it I still have three berried females in my community tank..
