I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with sexy shrimps breeding? I've got two females and one male. They seem to be pretty busy! "3's Company" for sure! But without the PG rating apparently.

I have a tank full of larvae. 20 days and counting. I still seem to have just as many now as when I first noticed them, and some are starting to show a red pigment. I'm not feeding anything, but I don't have any fish and plenty of 'pods. I do find it a bit peculiar that I seem to have every size from tiny to big and everything in between. Sheesh, how often do these guys breed!?
Any advice would be appreciated.

I would LOVE to take some photos, however, my current camera will only show blurry dots, and the camera I was given, is not cooperating. I will do my best to borrow a camera though, and give it a shot.
I lifted up their skirts of course!

Seriously though, from my research, size. I have two fat 'uns and one skinny 'un. Plus the two females act differently when they have eggs. Of course I could be wrong about all of this, but I don't think so!
As for the larvae, I know what copepods, amphipods and gammarus specifically all look like. And I compared what I've got to several sites that showed thor a. larvae, they match.
