Hi justrick,

This thread is a cliffhanger.

How did it go with your orange shrimp?

Hey David, I see you found the forum! Guess the e-mail I sent was a waste :oops: After reading your posts here I think the problem is just the TDS is higher in your tanks and I hope once the cherries get through this first molt they should be okay. If not let me know. Also I keep my temps a little h...

Its very intresting how they carry so much color within them and that some can change there colors when carring eggs.

I will have to do that next time around. Probably in a few months. I put the latest 16 RCS in a small tank with about the same amount of my tank raised. So far so good and all are Red. It is kinda small but should work for awhile. I think I will put the adults into thier own tank when I get over run...

Keeping track of family lines or controlling breeding lines is proving to be a nightmare. I think inbreeding will just reduce quality over time and provide less shrimp. Perhaps hybrids will occur of a sort. After much consideration I think I'll just keep my new arrivals in my smallest tanks and slow...

Thanks Neon shrimp.

Hi, Ive been keeping Red Cherry shrimp for some time now and have several hundred in my 6 tanks. Every now and then I find a new source for of them and this just happend recently. I put 12 new RCS in one tank and and I'm just considering how to best introduce the family line into my other tanks. Its...

Wow, Thanks for the info! :D I never even thought of bannana. I will try that. :) DP stands for Dwarf Puffer. There is many names for them but they are the smallest known pufferfish and true dwarfs IMHO. Thier Carinotetraodon travancoricus and all of mine(15) have been born and raised in my tanks. I...

My new RCS dont seem to eat a whole lot like my psycho ghost shrimp do.

just wanted to see what the majority favorite food is for em.
thanks.

P.S. Is feeding grindal,(small white), worms harfull to these shrimp?

Dwarf puffers will indeed eliminate your snails! The trumpet snail that is potentialy harmfull to the dwarf puffers teeth however. I raise the DPs and it is near impossable to keep a snail colony alive with them. Snails are an inportant part of thier diet. I am new to shrimp but have had no bad expi...

I just wished I'd read your postings on natural Iodide feeding before I spent the 12 bucks on the bottle of bunk! Impatientce is always my worst enemy.
I can by alot of spinach, etc., for $12.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm learning alot from reading the old post. I havent seen many accounts on the net about breeding the red cherry shrimp. It isnt that rare of an event is it? P.S. I only keep ghost shrimp with my dwarf puffers and havent had any bad expierence yet. A few folk have been ...

I currently have ghost shrimp, amano shrimp, and my favorite, red cherry shrimp. :) I'm also a member of the dwarf puffer forum wich...
