Standing in the craft aisle… I realize I’m a grown adult capable of, just - you know - buying my cat an entire bag of his favorite toy.

Ten Second Shrimp👻BABY EDITION

Y'all....... the babies have appeared. 🥹

And not to be dour, but this morning's pre-work aquarium viewing was a little somber. Over the last week, my three ghost shrimp have turned an opaque white, a color l'm learning is indicative of their nearing end. So this morning I acknowledged that one ghostie had passed, and coming home today I see that another has also gone. The third one is slow, but still picking her way amongst the aquarium.

So.... to then notice that their babies are actually alive and well?!? Dang, I love how the universe works. 🫧🦐🌊🩵

Fresh molt for Mr. Ghostie. 👻

Ms. Ghostie 1 seemingly dropped her eggs yesterday. 😔 Though she was seemingly close to their hatch date anyway, so maybe little ghosties are hanging around? tbd

Ms. Ghostie 2 is still berried and trucking along nicely. 🦐💨

I don’t knoooow. I was reading that the popular variety of ghost shrimp actually need brackish water to mature, but a lot of people attest online that their ghost shrimp are a self-sustaining colony. I’m, at the very least, happy that the girls are content enough with their tank to saddle up.
