Adult Red Cherry Shrimp will not baby shrimp.....

I believe they just arent equipped for that sort of behavior....

Yeah whats up with the lack of celebration?


This place is great

Okay I spent a bunch of time taking pictures.... On closer inspection the shrimp is clearly injured. Im pretty sure though this shrimp has been exhibiting this color for some time....so the injuries might be relatively recent (moved her in with a bunch of Cajuns recently)... Do you see what I mean w...

Terran Beautiful shrimp! I only have 1 even close to your females color, and all of my males are a lot lighter than yours! Good luck on breeding them...I plan on doing the same thing...just breeding the darkest females that I have in my tank. Yeah that female was considered one of my lighter colore...

Yeah they were cropped....and slightly magnified....

Yeah I did not even notice those water spots till I took the pictures....

Still playing with the camera to figure out the best way to take pictures with it....

A female.... http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/andruk81/ShrimpandCrays/Shrimp3.jpg A male.... http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/andruk81/ShrimpandCrays/Srhimp021.jpg And this is the best I could do of the very tiny babies.... http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a257/andruk81/ShrimpandCrays/S...

Mine seem to go through phases of hiding and being out in the open or at least visible. There are times where the two of them are crammed together in a cave barely big enough for one of them, without either of them venturing out for days on end. The next thing you know, both of them abandon the cav...

And if that doesnt work try Everclear....

Plant wise I really like this aquatic grass....I am not sure what its called or what variety this is....but it grows pretty slowly in a shrimp tank (at least it has in mine)....and if you have a sand substrate it can over time fill in pretty dense. The best picture I have of this grass has Cajuns in...

A Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX12K 7.2 MegaPixels not to fancy of a camera I suppose..... So I experimented a bit and took some pictures of my Dwarf Cajun Crayfish.... and one picture of my Red Cherry Shrimp (none of them were near the glass when I was deciding to take pictures).... The Crayfish are juveni...

You gonna give us an update about your shrimps and their/your move? Or is that about all you have to say in terms of an update

Several times Ive noticed Red Cherry Shrimp riding on the larger adult Marbled Cray's back picking stuff off to feed on back.....

They are just such a peaceful crayfish.....but I suppose even they can be opportunistic to slow moving fish or others if the conditions were right....

Hmm well keep us updated it would be interesting if they stayed on the top like that....

Keep us updated on these guys progress....unless someone else already has experience keeping these or is actively keeping these with information to tell us....

When you tested the water did you test for nitrates?
No fertilizers?
or Snail killing chemicals in the water?


Keep us updated on whats going on...

A tiny update. Lately Ive been "seeding" small Java Ferns in the center of a given sponge. The Java Fern attaches and spreads out in a fan like fashion out of the top of the sponge. It looks really natural and the Java Fern seems to enjoy growing into the sponge. Its now been a very long t...
