Now the debris has cleared i'm relieved to see the zoes again. Healthy number of them over 10-ish. Temperature at 27 C. Gravity at 1.25. I'm a marine noob. All I know is it smells pretty much like the sea. Didn't bother to test pH or ammonia/nitrite/nitrate. pH should be 8-ish. Says on guide that they're not really bothered by water quality.. which makes sense. I mean if they're floating around the ocean and being tiny and can only float around helplessly... least they should worry about is water quality... they're probably culled by the hundreds by just one anemone. Considering they just went through what would kill most water creatures... total osmosis shock... I think they're pretty tough. Hope to see more zoes from mommy shrimp soon.

They look exactly like this.. but i'm nowhere near that sort of quantity. I dunno why my hatch yield is so low :/. Maybe I stressed the female too much by isolating her too soon into her pregnancy. Yet there's still plenty of eggs under her. LET IT GO.
