When your LFS gets a new shipment of shrimps, check carefully to see if there is any eggcarrying females.
That's how i got my first males.

I've kept Red Cherry Shrimp outside since last summer. The temperature has been from 3 to 32°C (37.4-89.6°F). Not all the shrimps survived the winter, but some did and they've been breeding again this summer. What did you keep them in? I keep them in 65 litre plastic containers on my balcony. http:...

Just a little update. Hope that someone might have some new info on these shrimp. Only 1-3 shrimps from each hatch survive. And i have discoved something funny. These shrimps are very shy. They don't seem happy out in the open, like other shrimps do. They usually move alongside stones og wood. When ...

Salt will not harm cherries if it's for a short period. I don't know if it will harm them over longer time. I had a 30 liter cherry tank, where the shrimps got some type of fungus. I did a 50% waterchange and added 30 grams of salt to the fresh water - and added it slowly through a dripping airhose....

I don't know where you live, but in a shop "algae shrimp", doesn't allways mean algaeeating shrimp.
Here in Denmark a chain of fishshops has sold Macrobrachium lanchesteri as "algae shrimp" for over a year now.

http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/6327/d61b4sm.jpg I think it looks a lot like the Red Claw shrimps I had. The dark markings on the head/front body looks different than those on rosenbergii. There's some pictures of my Red Claws here: http://www.aquabo.dk/index.php?id=7&pid=2 Mine could catch an...

Thanks for the info.
Yes they are very interesting, even though they are not simoni simoni.
I just "need" to know the names of the fish and shrimps in my tanks. Things don't feel right until I know

Yes it's sad to see how the Earth is being abused.
I always try to breed the shrimps I have, and spread them to as many people as possible.

I still think my shrimps look and behave like C. simoni simoni. And I was wondering, if there is other subspecies besides simoni?

http://www.aquabo.dk/img/caridina_sp/04130003unge.JPG I have discovered the first shrimplets. They are very small (1-1,5 mm.) and look like big Amano larvae. They are holding on to the glass and "sitting" on the bottom, and some times swim in free water. I haven't looked in the tank for a...

I bought them in the beginning of february.

I managed to take a few more photos of the shrimps. Since they are small - 20-25 mm. - and almost transparent, they are quite a challenge for my camera. I have at least 3 females carrying eggs. The eggs look smaller than Bumblebee eggs, but not as small as Amano eggs. http://www.aquabo.dk/img/caridi...

Hi I need some help to ID these shrimp. They were bought as Neocaridina sp. "coloured". Probably just a name made up by the shop. They vary a lot in colur from almost transparant to yellow and sometimes brown with dark markings on the body. Because of the curved back I think they might be ...
