I,ve had RCS for over a year, but no babies,why. I would really like any feed back any one could give me. I,ve never even seen one baby.

Also, be careful what you put in the tank with them. Many fish find shrimp to be wonderful between meal snacks, especially babies which are tiny enough for some fish to eat that cannot eat the adults (I've had nano fish do this). I prefer to house my shrimp in their own tanks, but if you do put them in tanks with other fish, make sure they have plenty of hiding places that the fish or other tank inhabitants cannot reach.

They may take 2 years before they are mature enough to breed. Problem it's keePing them alive that long. Most of mine last only a year.

I was having the same issue in a very well planted aquarium. I got a good test kit and found that the pH was too high and the water was too alkaline. So, I have been slowly adding substrate and driftwood pieces that will bring the pH down and used a water softener pillow. After about a week, I think I am seeing berries - no little ones yet, but I am very hopeful.

A number of issues can prevent this -- have you seen females with the 'saddle' on their backs? Eggs under the tail? A number of factors including poor water parameters (ph, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates), an overstocked tank, or incompatible tank mates can all prevent successful breeding. Make sure you have plenty of cover for fry and vulnerable molting shrimp -- cholla driftwood and mosses are great for this. Check your filter intake as well -- you'll want to slide a sponge over it to prevent fry from being sucked up into the filter.

Hi Lauren, I'm in a similar situation as you. We've been trying for about 5 months with no success. I was on the pill for about 10 years and stopped taking it a year ago. My doctor (and most research) stated that a healthy couple who is seriously trying can take up to a year to conceive naturally, so you are going on four months. I wouldn't worry just yet. :-) I also use OPKs and I think they work (clearblue easy digital is the best), but I also know when I ovulate because you can feel it, most women get "period like" cramping on the day of OV. I use www.webmd.com they have an ovulation calendar that is right on, you just enter your last three periods and it tells you when you are expected to ovulate in the next cycle. It was right on for me this last time. Im also taking Fertilaid, and noticed I have more energy and my period seems to be more regular. I didn't even have cramping on this thing. I know its frustrating, and you feel hopeless, but you will succeed. :-) Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I can't post a link to the user manual that was made by a breeder who thought the manual it came with was a joke (Because you have to create an acct and log in to get to it) but the website is called backyard poultry dot com (all one word, period instead of word "dot"). If you go to it and search the forum for janoel 48, you should find it. You can also go to backyard chickens dot com and do a similar search. Lots more info there, too, and a link was posted to the other website I listed, but again, you have to go to the website and create an acct (it's free) to see the info posted therein. I just went through a few of the better detailed threads and was able to get it to work well enough. Still doesn't beat a broody for success rates, but having the tips will help a lot.

Great question. This is my first year purchasing mantids. I hope, with the release of around 1000 babies, at least a few of them make it to adulthood. I'll have to let you know next spring.

I had an issue with my Smart Baby monitor (that was purchased on Amazon) and I contacted Withthings customer service, they were more than helpful! They got me a whole new product within just a couple weeks. I would recommend contacting them directly :-) info on Withings website.

I will definitely agree with the new mom review. So many more of those critters it was unreal. Empty, empty, empty.

Mine were good for 1 and a half years. But , by the time I actually got pregnant I only had about 4 left. I used multiple tests a month because my period is never on time.

I wish I could anwer your questions. I decided to go with an exterminator. I am uncoformtable with pesticides, but I have had no problems. I have pets, but no small children.

My "mating pair" never actually mated and have since passed away. One seemed to have some serious genetic problems. I bought the vision breeding box in the hope that they would use it. But I could never even get either bird to go inside. My birds never laid eggs.

I have had the exact same problem with baby wipes. I have had these for months, and have had no problems.

I'm on my 5th bag...you have to keep feeding. It DOES work. However, you may underestimate the initial problem. I realized there were not "just a few" - but an army! The feeding frenzy does slow down and then you just maintain it until it stops. I've slowed down quite a bit, but they are still eating. I'm beginning to wonder, however, if there is rodent sign somewhere that says "PARTY OVER AT THIS HOUSE!" - I guess I will eventually see.

Wait them out. Ours took a few extra weeks to hatch. But then we had a tun of them. They like to take longer then the instructions lol
