I have been keeping Shrimps for a few months now & i would like to know, if there is anybody else that keeps & breeds these little buggers.

Here is a picture of one of my Amano Shrimps.

 How are your cherries? Any more females carrying eggs? I'm more interested in crayfish, I will post photos soon.

The Cherries are doing fine & always munching on the moss. They seem quite happy with some direct sunlight & yes, there's another female carrying.

kept cherry shrimps for a couple of months, very beautiful shrimp although growth rate slow. they used to breed for at a temp of about 22 and 24 degrees celsuis. the tank was filled with coconut shells and driftwood and aroung three types of mosses and a liverwort, namely the monosolenium. used to feed once every two days with hikari crab cuisine and a partial water change weekly ensured health and strong colours.the baby shrimps when born are very small about 2 mm in lenght and are miniature replicas of the parents but lack the red colour( at leats mine did no have it). well happy shrimp keeping to everyone.

When they are young, most of them are very pale in colour, but eventually, the females will be more red & easily sexed.
