eggs have an oval shape with color varies from greenish to yellowish.The eggs size are comparatively large, with an average diameter of 1.19 mm. Depending on the temperature the embryonic development of the eggs can last from 25 to 35 days. Newly hatched shrimplets look like a tiny version of the adult shrimp with an average total length of 2.3 mm. There are 16 stages of post-hatching development of the baby cherry shrimp. That shrimp female can usually produce about 21-51 shrimplets per hatching. Larger females produce more shrimplets. It takes around 60 days for the cherry shrimplets to reach the juvenile stage. Until then it is not possible to differentiate males from females with the naked eye. Juveniles become adults 15 gays later. Females are obvious with the presence of orange-colored ovary at the cephalothorax region. Within 1 to 3 days, these males and females are ready to spawn.
