Your breeding details for Caridina japonica ("algae eating shrimp",
aka Amano shrimp aka Yamato shrimp) is wrong. They do not hatch
"almost fully formed", as is the case for many, but not all, other
freshwater shrimp. I refer to my article on breeding Yamatos:

Hi Mean_Chlorine

It is a very fine article you have made.
In fact you have a very interesting site, but for some reason I have
problems with quite a few of the pictures?


Keep up your good work

<sigh> Yeah, I know. It's due to MS IIS, for some bizarre reason,
limiting download rate, so that combined download rate for all users
is about 30KB/s, or about **1/43000th** of the actual available
bandwidth of this machine. I even get that limited download rate when
I log in to the website locally.

This means that if there are several people surfing my site, some
images may time out.

If you refresh the page a couple of times, the images will become
visible. They're there, they've just timed out.

I'll add a note about this to the webpage.

If anyone knows why IIS insists on capping the download bandwidth, and
what I can do about it, I'd appreciate a pointer.

There is only one place I can think of where a limit can be set

In the Internet Service Manager, go to WWW | Advanced and see if the
check box for "Limit Network Use by all Internet Services on this
computer" is checked. If it is, uncheck it.

I delved through the IIS controls, and can't find the setting you
mention. I even searched through the registry for the word "limit"
without turning up anything. I do find mention in the help of a
setting for "slow connection limit" , wich seems like it might be what
I'm looking for - is that the setting you refer to?

Please, would you give specific instructions where I can find the
setting?

Sorry, should have included that to start with, as it is in different
places depending on which version of IIS/Windows you are running.

IIS 3.0 on NT 4 Server:
Start | Programs | Microsoft Internet Server (common) | Internet
Service Manager
right click the WWW service line, choose Service Properties, click on
Advanced tab

IIS 5.0/6.0 on Win2k (WinXP is probably the same, as is IIS 4)
Start | Programs | Administrative Tools | Internet Services Manager
(If Admin tools not on program menu, access it through Control Panel)

Right click the computer name, click properties, uncheck Enable
Bandwidth Throttling, then click OK

on Win2k Server, Advanced Server, and Win 2k3 server (and possibly
WinXP), there is one more setting
expand the <my_computer_name> branch
right click "Default Web Site" and choose Properties (You'll need to
do this for each web site if you have setup more than one)
Click the Performance Tab, uncheck "Enable Bandwidth Throttling" and
click OK
(I believe this is Enabled by default, so this is probably the
culprit)

If this doesn't do it, email me off list with your OS and IIS
versions, and I'll see if I can track something down.

Beautiful article.

Umm, while you're up -- I've got an egg-carrying female right now; haven't
yet got a close enough look to know how close the eggs are to hatching. I
want to move her to splendid isolation in a breeding container to try my
luck with the larvae. But what about food for the old girl? Does one make
the move a couple of days before hatching is due and just let her get by
on stored food? ? (Is this easy to get right the first time?) Should one
move some algae-encrusted stuff into the tank? I know I can lay hands on
little clumps of filamentous algae any time, if this is a good solution.

If that's a small container I wouldn't feed her at all, because of the
risk the water goes bad; she can get by for at least a week without
food, but fouled water will kill her pretty quickly.

That's what I do, yes. I also add some plants and things to the jar,
so I guess she may find a little food while she & I wait for the eggs
to hatch.

> ? (Is this easy to get right the first time?) Should one

Fairly easy, yes. If the eggs are about the same color at the shrimps
body, then hatching is at least drawing close. If you can see eyes
through the eggshells hatching is at most a few days away.

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Algae shouldn't pollute the water,
quite the opposite. Also, like I said, adding some plants provides
both hiding and perhaps a little food.
