Generally, when the black shell shrimp grows to about 1.5 cm, it has the ability to reproduce. However, it is recommended to wait until they are about 2 cm long before using them for breeding. Because rigid mature individuals are not very mature, the quality of shrimp larvae produced directly for reproduction is not very good. When they are bigger and then propagated, it is easier to get high-quality shrimp seedlings.
When breeding artificially, as long as the environment is suitable, the black shell shrimp may breed throughout the year. The environment here mainly refers to water temperature and water quality. If the water temperature can be maintained at about 26 C and the water quality can be well regulated, then adult individuals may reproduce. But if the water temperature is too low, too high or the water quality is too bad, it will be difficult for them to reproduce. Even if they reproduce, the shrimps may not survive.
After the black shell shrimps grow up, they can reproduce about every 30-40 days. After mating, the time for the female shrimp to carry eggs is about 15-20 days. Their reproductive frequency is also related to the environment. If the environment is suitable, they can breed once a month. But if the environment is poor, they will reduce the frequency of reproduction. Therefore, if you want them to explode, you must adjust the breeding environment, especially the water temperature, must not be too low, it is best to maintain at about 26 degrees Celsius.
