Breeding:

Bloody Mary shrimp breed readily in stable, well-maintained freshwater tanks. Females carry bright red eggs under their tail, and shrimplets are born fully formed and miniature in size.

Tip: Begin with 8 to 10 shrimp to ensure a healthy gender mix for successful breeding.

Stress and lack of hiding spots can reduce breeding success, especially in mixed-species tanks with dominant or aggressive tankmates.
