Yamato Shrimp start to have Eggs, they only breed in Salt Water but somehow the condition became suitable for them in the Fish Tank. Now I had to prepare for salt water habitat for the larvae to grow after the eggs hatch in about 5 weeks. It is still thousands of lives that are at stake, still worth the effort to give it a try.
Yamato Shrimp have Eggs
Spinach start to bloom flower, Sixth Aunt say it is Bolt due to hot weather. I thought it is Broccoli at first, but the Broccoli had been destroyed by my mom due to her impatient. She always want to eat the vegetables while they are tender, her disregard of respect for other had cause a lot of problem to the farm.
Spinach Flower Bloom
Preparing for the Birth of New Yamato Shrimp. The Eggs will Hatch in
about 3 to 5 weeks. The Eggs will Hatch into Larvae and being wash out
into the Sea. The Larvae will Grow into Baby Shrimp in about 30 days and
swim back to River.
1.020 Salt Water for Larvae to Grow for 30
days. 1.012 Half Salt Half Fresh Water for the Baby Shrimp to Grow for
another 15 Days. Each Shrimp is able to Breed about 1000 to 3000 Babies.
I had two Yamato Shrimp having Eggs now and will be expecting
their Eggs to hatch next week or next month. If I am successful, I
might be the first person in Singapore to Breed Yamato Shrimp in
Aquarium.
Yamato Shrimp in Breeding Tank
1.012 Half Salt Half Fresh Water
First batch of Yamato Shrimp Breeding had failed, at first I thought there are insufficient food for the Larvae but later found out that the salinity of the water went above 1.030. Not sure if the Bio Film dosage had affect the salinity or the Mineral Supplement, I had been monitoring the water closely so it could not be due to evaporation.
The half salt half fresh water salinity also gone from 1.010 to 1.018, so I switch it to be use as Sea Water and try to mix another batch of half salt half fresh water. If this batch also fail again then I had to conclude that it is really hard to breed Yamato Shrimp, just had to let the Larvae to become Fish Food in the future.
The the third Yamato Shrimp also start to have eggs, what surprise us is that the first Yamato Shrimp which had just hatch the eggs had also start to have eggs after a few day when I transfer it back to Fish Tank. Not sure if I should start keeping Opae Ula Wonder Shrimp or Brine Shrimp Sea Monkey and use their salt water for breeding Yamato Shrimp, Marine Coral Aquarium is definitely out of the question as it is too expensive to maintain.
Okra is ready for harvest after a week from Flower Bloom, not sure why we were not successful in sprouting the plant in our previous attempt. We doesn't seem to have any luck with herb type of plant, not sure if it is due to the environment or got any relationship to Chinese Feng Shui.
