[aquariumlover1]

Just had my Angel eat 20 dollars worth of these guys. Grr. No Cherry Shrimp for me!

[tales5817]

Tell me the secret. I just bought 7 of them and one is pregnant but they mostly hide in my java fern

[Carmador]

what about crystal reds? I'm diggin those more than the cherrys. not hating on the cherries though, just sayin

[AquaJtang]

@Carmador they are good but are less hardy. i suggest cherries to beginners

[zakartaz]

nice.

hey dustin, you got me hooked on rainbows and wanted to throw a few boesmanis into my main tank. Would they devour my cherry shrimp population or would they just pick one off now and again? You got any experiences with keeping the two? Keep doing your thing bro

[schtals]

minde dont breed for some reason. Prolly the few adults i have are all the same sex and youngstas have been sucked in the filter again.

[ShaneThink]

how many cherry shrimps do you recommend getting to optimize the chance of them breeding?

[NYREPS]

Want a tip ? Try max breed and max growth that stuff really works ,you will get great results after one week 70% of females will be berried or have saddle on their backs.

[KETIMENE]

so,why do you like them so much ?
