:bounce: one of my shrimp has just released free swimming larvae/shrimp :bounce:

Caught in berry so I cant claim full breeding in an aquarium, although I have had some become berried in an aquarium.

They are too small to photograph, and I can't see them surviving as there are 3 bully fry in the same tank that I have raised from post larvae - about 6-7mm now about 12mm

Maybe not too small:

Edit:

They seem close to neutral buoyancy, some falling some slowly floating. Tail up head down. Staying in mid water column and not photophobic.

Edit 2: Being free swimming and staying in open water would strongly suggest that they would normally have a marine phase. Will be interesting to see if any survive in freshwater - there are 4 fat bully fry now
