Question shrimplets growing slowly...

Hi there, i have a couple of batches of shrimplets and i observe them daily, think is, they don't seem to be growing a lot.

they're feeding well,(the larger ones are able to join the adults during feeding).. the small ones just pick off algae n such from the glass or mosses.

am only dosing minute amounts of mosura mineral plus... should i buy mosura exel? How do i ensure that the shrimplets are getting the nutrients they need?

thanks!

Understand how you feel to see they "grow". That is normal rate for CRS.

They don't grow very fast but they can find their own food among mosses. I usually have patient to watch them grow to become another mama shrimp. Mine snowballs & sakura have produced 3rd generations over a period of 9 months since I first started keeping them. So roughly you can calculate how long they take to concieve eggs to hatching shrimplets and grow big again.

Over Crowding may be 1 of the factor...
