Hi Pete! They will hatch without problems, but the larvae won't survive in freshwater. They need brackish water to survive. The larvae will be tiny and float in the water column like brine shrimp. You might see some float around in about 4 weeks, although I doubt you will notice them in your 125 gal...

Hi Pete, If shrimp do not get much food they actually stay small as they age. That's why you never know how old shrimp in pet stores are, regardless of size. And old shrimp can still be small. Take care, Mustafa All of my red cherries are 3/4 of an inch. Fully grown cherries are supposed to be an in...

As Tim has mentioned before, that little copper might not be enough to kill your shrimp (although I would still not use fertilizer personally). Breaking down a 125 gallon is not an option. Obviously your shrimp are doing fine. If there had been copper or other harmful chemicals/metals in your tank, ...

As I wrote in the other thread you might just have females in your tanks. If you do not have some pretty much see-through shrimp in your tank but just red ones then they are all female. As to the cherry reds dying, they might just be dying of old age. Yes, there might be molting problems that also e...

Re: Hi! and my tanks
Hi Ethan, Welcome! You have a truly beautiful planted tank there! Respect! The Red Cherries do not get a golden line on the back. It's more of a yellow spot on the neck, which are basically the ovaries of the shrimp. Those are eggs in "pre-development". Take care, Mustafa Can anyone tell m...

The 5 gallon won't do for long. It's just too small for large numbers of shrimp. It's harder to keep water quality constant in such a small tank and you need to water changes *very* often (which is a lot of work). It's ok as a grow up tank for young shrimp, but not as a breeding tank. Get at least a...

Well, in Japan the ones that look like candy-canes are more valuable. In Germany it has been the other way around so far....the more red the animals had the better. If you get those new Crystal Reds and the picture looks more like the Shrimp in the Petshrimp Discussion Forum logo-pic, then I would n...
