First shrimplets

They hatched yesterday morning!  My first batch of shrimplets with this new batch of CRS of late 2011.
Hatch date is marked at February 11, 2012.  Temp stayed stable at 72-73 F.  That's around 22-23C

January 15 - February 11

I should note that it took the entire day for all the shrimplets to be released from the mother.  Not all shrimp go free swimming instantly.  I checked again this morning to find the mother not to be carrying any anymore.  So if you find shrimplets in the tank and the pregnant female is still carrying some, do not be alarmed as this is normal!  The rest will follow within the day/night.

I'm too lazy to make this a long post, so I'm going to keep this short.  Picture time!
