Non of them are carring eggs yet. And 3 of them died :( Amanos and Cherries feel fine in the same tank - Amanos are carring eggs and Cherries are breeding. Mustafa, by the way, I am not receiving notifications when a reply is posted. And it says I am watching this thread, And "Notify me when a ...

I have about 12. I can tell females as they have those spots on the back near the head - same as red cherry females. But no eggs yet.

Hi Mustafa and All!
Here is one of the shrimps I got from a wholesaler (I ordered Japonica shrimps). I tried to identify it using the "shrimp varieties" page. The closest is probably Sri Lanka Dwarf Shrimp.
What is your opinion?

Hey amber2461,

Here is the tank's picture. Nothing special...

This is SAE. These guys are the best, they even eat BBA. See http://www.thekrib.com for more info.

Hey Amanda, I set up 10G tank on my desk at work :-D I got 3 Red Cherries from my friend, two females (now both are with eggs) and one male. I hope it will work out this time. I also have 4 Green shrimps in that tank. What fertilizers are you using? A modified version of Tropica's MasterGrow. I also...

Thanks! I wish I had a camera as amanda_h used.
By the way, Red Cherries didn't survive in this tank for a long. Maybe because of the plant fertilzer I added. My Green shrimp survived though.

I bought two Wood shrimps today. They are so nice! My wife says they are scary though :). One shrimp is dark-grey-red-brown, another one is yellow-brown. See their pictures and some other pictures. http://www.eremenko.com/04120501.JPG http://www.eremenko.com/04120502.JPG http://www.eremenko.com/0412...

Hi Mustafa,
Are planning to start selling Tiger shrimps in the near future?

Here are some pictures of my shrimps. The pics are not good, I will make better pics later. And this is my 33G tank set up for shrimps, snails and otos. http://www.eremenko.com/ShrimpTank04092801.JPG http://www.eremenko.com/ShrimpTank04092802.JPG http://www.eremenko.com/ShrimpTank04092804.JPG http:/...

Thank you, Mustafa. The reason I asked is that my shrimps look exactly as the one at the left-bottom corner on your Ninja Shrimp page. They are red and they have an orange-red strip along their back. I bought them as Red Cherries from the guys I emailed you about. This means I have Ninja shrimps not...

Mustafa, on the Ninja Shrimp page you have some pictures at the bottom. Are they all Ninja Shrimps? The last one (left-bottom corner) looks like the Red Cherry to me. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks a lot!

I really like both these species. I want to keep them in one tank, but I don't want them crossbreed.

So my questions are:

1. Is it ok to keep these shrimps together?
2. Will Tiger shrimps cross with Red Cherry shrimps?

Thanks a lot for answers!

Oleg

Hi All,

Do you know how to distinguish Red Cherry shrimps from Hawaiian Red shrimps. They look very simililar on pictures.

Mustafa, you keep both. Can you answer this question, please.

Thanks a lot!

In my planted tank I am trying to keep a pretty high phosphate level, 1 - 2 ppm. This level is no problem for fish though.
Does anyone keep Red Cherries or other shrimps in such high phosphate level? Any info will be much appreciated!
