My Cherry Red Shrimps Giving Birth!

I video this spectacular video using my PSP Camera and a magnifying glass. I am on the phone while my Cherry Red Shrimp gave birth to 2 healthy baby on camera!!

Not very close up but good for people who never seen shrimps giving birth! :)

Yahoo...now I have probably 30-40 odds small baby cherry shrimps in my internal breeding tank! :)

hi simontay78 !! im from the philippines and our local pet store sells those cherry shrimps.. but they dont sell live plants or moss whatsoever.. im planning to put fake plants and driftwood for hiding and climbing.. will they breed this way ?? pls reply asap coz im xcited to buy those shrimps.. anyway nice video !! :))

[simontay78]

@kentrangel I believe they will breed as long as the water is clean, well fed (once a day not too much!) with either algae pellets or wafer. Cherry Red shrimps are the easiest to breed as they don't need too cold a environment to survive unlike Crystal red Shrimps.

Get about 20 shrimps & they will breed like no tomorrow, however do note don't put big fishes with shrimps or they will hide 24-7 from the fishes until all got eaten up! LOL

@simontay78 I thought they needed salt water for the eggs. I may be wrong, but that's what I've read.

@Pop12646Okami Hmmm I think cherry shrimps gave birth directly without eggs...maybe other types of shrimps lay eggs? hmm

crystal reds are acutally the exact same species as cherry shrimp (Neocaridina Heteropoda) people have just specifcally bred them into different color variations, they are all still the same species, and have the same envirnomental requirements.
