quintuplets

Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything on here, and even longer since there’s been new life in my fish tanks. Well, today marks the end of both streaks. I’m not sure exactly when it happened, but sometime in the last few weeks one of my ghost shrimp had her babies. There have been plenty before I’m sure, since I’ve got 4 females (and had more) and they have been pregnant a lot. This time, however, some of them have survived long enough for me to notice them. They are probably only a few weeks old, but it’s hard to say, as I’ve never seen the babies before, and I can’t seem to find much info online about the size they should be. One is a bit larger than the others, which may mean it was born first, or it might just be female. At any rate, most of them are about a half inch long, with that one being perhaps five-eighths of an inch. They’re really hard to find, and it’s taken me almost an entire day to confirm that there are indeed five of them.
