I dont do anything different in Stan's tank and I'm always spotting baby shrimp in there.

They are excellent at hiding. The smallest I see is about 3mm long. Theres is nothing that wants to eat them in my tank though (a betta and 6 sterbai cory).
64l kitchen tank: 16 golden tetra.
5ft 425L: 7 blue angel fish, 30 rummie nose tetra, 20 black neon tetra, 1 longfin bristlenose plec, 2 corydoras sterbai, 2 SAE.

Well I am guessing if she's pregnant she will get pregnant again... I will just let nature take its course... I cant do much else anyway. How many will she pop out?

She'll probably hide and moult when she drops them, so you won't see it happen. ;)

No idea mate. I put 15 in there when my dad was over run. I'd guess I'm close to 100 now.

Been a while but all is well! Just very busy and work chafed a lot with home working. I’m pretty pleased with my plants!

Only thing I am not happy with is my grasses but I think that's a combination of my non soil substrate and snaffling corries, is there any other carpeting plant I could try? Monte Carlo is lovely but I know its hard with no gas CO2.

Pretty much all carpeting plants will be slow growing or hard, however styrogen repens is a good one to try that grows a little bit quicker.
