Slf Babies?????

[meowzer]

HEY...My Sally Lightfoot in my 29G...just climbed on top of a rock...did some wierd shake thingy, and these little specks were all over the tank....it has done this twice.....I tried to look with a magnifying glass...but can not tell what they are.....hubby insists they are babies....lol
is this possible?
BTW...my fish seem to love them

My peppermints did the same thing. It shook it's bottom and a ton of little white specs went every where. A few days later, I went to check on my fish at night and they had hatched! Tiny shrimp were every where! I shined a flash light in the tank to look at them better and my maroon went crazy and started chomping them up left and right. There were hundreds of baby shrimp.

Well I only have the 3 fish, brittle, and crabs, so I guess they will be snacks
