I just bought some liquid food for possible shrimp babies. I think I have 2 pregnant females. I should have one somewhere in there. My problem is that I never...

... Hi Leigh. Thanks for that info. I've had many batches of them for a couple of years, but no babies that I can see so far. There was a bad die-off and I...
