Breeding Information

Snowball White Shrimp are prolific breeders in the right conditions. Females carry clusters of eggs under their abdomen, which resemble tiny white pearls, giving rise to their name. After a few weeks, fully formed juvenile shrimp emerge. Provide stable water parameters, dense plants, or moss for the young to hide and feed, and watch your colony flourish.
