Just for curiosity, does anyone cross-breed their Cherry Shrimp ?
I'm worried that the size of the brood will be greatly reduce by inbreeding.

My Red Cherry give birth to about 20 offsprings.
Is that the maximum considering it's small size ?

How many young can your Red Cherry Shrimp give birth to each time ?

In my experience the size of the brood is solely dependent on the amount of food the shrimp get. Mine get tons of food, so I get *monster* sized cherries with 50+ eggs. The bigger the shrimp and the more it eats, the larger the number of offspring.
