Female shrimps generally do not need to be isolated after spawning, and changing the living environment will be unfavorable to their reproduction and reduce the survival rate of shrimp eggs. At ordinary times, we should pay attention to feeding, usually twice a day, using more granular materials, with fish or snail meat. In addition, we should reduce the change of water, avoid changing water too frequently to stimulate it, resulting in the phenomenon of kicking eggs. It also needs to avoid being frightened during reproduction, and before that, it needs to control the water quality.
How is mother shrimp handled after brooding, what should notice after brooding?

1. whether to isolate

After the female shrimp has hatched eggs, it is generally not necessary to isolate them, because changing the environment will have a great impact on them, and even kick the eggs. However, if it is mixed culture of fish and shrimp, it is best to fish them out before spawning, otherwise shrimp eggs and young shrimp can easily become delicious food for fish. In addition, some aquatic plants can be planted in the water tank, which can provide a place for young shrimps to escape.

2. normal feeding

Female shrimps need to be fed normally after holding eggs, and fresh bait should be fed regularly, especially when many shrimps are raised together, if the bait is insufficient, the phenomenon of mutual swallowing will occur. The feed is mainly selected from granular feed, and live bait such as fish meat or snail meat is matched at the same time; the amount of the feed fed every day is between 5 and 8% of the body weight of the snail, and the feed is usually fed twice, only 30% in the morning and 70% in the afternoon.

3. reduce the change of water

The female shrimp should avoid too much fluctuation of water quality during the spawning period, so the water should not be changed too frequently, and the amount of water should not be too large, otherwise it will kick the eggs, or even die from shelling. In addition, the water temperature should be maintained between 20-25 degrees Celsius, too high, although helpful to hatch, but will affect the survival of young shrimp.

4. avoid kicking eggs

Female shrimp will kick eggs when they are hatching eggs. This is mainly due to the problem of water quality, and may also be frightened. Therefore, in addition to paying attention to maintaining water quality, we should also avoid scaring it.
