The clear shrimp looks more like a glass or ghost shrimp. If so, it will kill the cherry shrimp.... I breed cherry shrimp and haven't seen any that are as transparent as the one that's running around in the video.
Just a little add-on here. You need to get ridd of the shells or else it will start to smell really bad and the shrimp can get sick. Most of the time they eat the shells but not allways. And keep in mind that if you give them chalk when they're about to molt they can acctually DIE becouse it's so hard getting the shell of. And also you need atleast 2 shrimps and not one lonley one, shirmps are acctually very playfull and social and likes to be with other shrimps, no matter what breed.
hi dude..i have a 6 gallon tank, without Co2, Eheim 2217 filter and aquasoil, with rotella,cryptocorynes and elodia..am not having java moss since they require co2 for a lush growth as we see in a Amano tank...pls advice me if i can have different types of shrimps in my tank with this setup..
I was wondering if I could get some cherry shrimp for my freshwater tank, do they do well with other kinds of shrimp? And more importantly will they be safe, I have 2 algae eaters who are semi-agressive or romantic(hard to tell) towards eachother but nothing else and a Marron who is small and she never shows any agressive behaviour, infact when she was with other Marron she got beaten up. Anyway my tank is large and I plan to put moss in it. I tried looking it up but it came up with cooking -.-
I have some cherry shrimps, 2 of them got babies at the same time as some guppy fish got babies and I put them in the same tank. Will the baby fish eat the baby shrimp? will the shrimp eat the baby fish? What can I do to increase the chance of survival.
I was wandering if I could keep these in my guppy tank. It has 1 neon tetra. 20 guppys and 1 sterbai cory. Weird stocklist but they died over the years and I never bothered to replace them. The plants got LOTS of java moss and bogwood. The guppys are all quite small.
I keep my red cherries in a 5.5 gallon with a moss carpet and driftwood, along with a betta, endler livebearer males, and a single harlequin rasbora that is the only survivor from the years of my older tank. Took me about 4-5 bettas to finally get one that leaves my shrimp completely alone.
My tank is 80*F do you think that's too hot for the livestock?
@wilza52 White cloud minnows are small enough to not eat the shrimp (apart from babies, which they will eat) and survive in the tank, but they like enough space to move around quickly, so a 13 l tank might not be appropriate. Consider something more fatter bodied, like 6-8 microrasboras or ember tetra, as they don't need to dart about as much. That was what some guy suggested to me anyway, so take it for what it is worth. Anything that stays below 1.5 inches would be great.
I'd like to ask for advice. I'm starting university in a week and I'd like something to take care of so I had thought of red cherry shrimps. I love these little guys! But it's been so long that I've had an aquarium so it's like I have no experience with this. Do you think 5-7 litre would be too small for 5 cherry shrimps? Also I'm not sure I want them to breed, would it be okay if I only get males?
hey there i might be getting 3 red cherry shrimp for my betta tank ( got a vid on my channel :D) so yeh would it be ok? the tanks 3 gallons 13 uk litres... :D
@AquaStun They will probably be eaten by the betta. But evey betta is different so there is a chance he/she will leave them alone. They may just peck at them every once and a while. If they are now eaten, they will most likely become a nice, dark red. They do that when they feel they are in danger and need to blend in. Good luck and I hope this helps. Send me a PM if you have any other questions. :D
@AquaStun i had two ghost shrimp (full size, much bigger than red cherry shrimp) to clean up the food that reached the bottom of the tank (betta is too picky) and after 3 weeks my betta devoured them both. luckily an apple snail does the job just as well
@MykesterMachinima well dude all betta are different mine is really laided back and really friendly I just got into shrimps so i went and got some and he's doing awesome not bothering them i mine u can try more fish 4 ur tank that will maybe help him take his eyes off the shrimp I have like 6 shrimps and he doesnt even go after 1 of them just keep trying sooner or later he will get use 2 them plz add and subscribe 2 my channel thnxz
@AquaStun just try 2 put more fish in the tank with him that can also help 2 sometimes the betta pays no mind 2 whats on the floor I have shrimp and fish together in a 10 gallon going 2 upgrade 2 29 with draft wood and sand I have 2 german rams 2 rainbows 4 sunburst platys 1 flamed dwaft gourami 1 coral red dwaft gourami 1 powder blue dwaft gourami and 1 oplane gourami plus 6 cherry barbs and they are all doing great with each other try it,it could help plz subscribe plus add thnxz later
hey i just bought about 5 cherry shrimp and i was going to get more monday but i just looked at them and the all are dying.....can you tell me what im doing wrong and what exactly do the need water condition wise? i have alge waffers for them to eat and i got some live plants in a ten gallon and the temp is set a little below 80 degrees F. i have a sponge filter and air bubbles also. i duno what i did wrong please give me some incite thanks
@drdollargeneral would you sell some and if you do for how Much my pet stores don't have cherry shrimp and online their like 18 $ plus shipping and handling
i am getting about 25,to 30 red chery shrimp and was wondering how much should i feed them and will they eat any of there babeys and can i put any other shrimp in the tank or dwarf clored frog with them??
@DaughtersBoi Thanks for the question. I usually feed my shrimp once every 3 days one whole algae wafer, I break it up into 4 pieces and spread it around the tank so there isn't too much fighting for food. They will not eat their own babies, unlike ghost shrimp. So you will be fine leaving the adults in with the little ones. Most other kinds of dwarf shrimp get along with these shrimp, but know that they might interbreed and their color may be different after a couple generations.Good luck!
Hey I'm working on getting a breeding population of Cherries going in my 5g. Once I have it going pretty well would you be interested in doing a little bit of a swap? It's a good idea to do this every couple of generations to keep the genetic line strong.
Now that I'm looking at my tank I hope I have some males...most of mine are pretty bright (and a bit young to be breeding just yet)
@AquaStudent That sounds good, it may take me a month or so to get the tank established. My tank has only been up for about 2-3 weeks. Once my next crop of shrimp get old enough I'll let you know. This sounds interesting.
@arien12 I started breeding them in a 2.5 gallon tank a few moths ago. Their population got to large for that small of a tank so I moved them into this 10 gallon a few weeks ago. I plan on selling some once I get a decent population established. Glad to hear you're thinking about raising these. If you have any more questions let me know! Good luck!
