Male red cherries in the UK - where to get them

Post by redbull »

Does anyone know where to get hold of male red cherries in the London area? The ones that I have and see in the shops are all female which I understand is a common problem.

Cheers!

We have the same problem here in Denmark. I have 8 females ready for action.

Today i was checking out a new shipment of RCS in the LFS - all females.
Fortunately there was one carrying eggs. I bought the one with eggs and hope they will hatch and that there's a male between, so that i can start breeding these absolutely charming creatures.

Hi Bo,

Once those eggs hatch and you keep the hatchlings alive, there will definitely be males among the offspring. So, take good care of that one female with eggs. :)

Take care,
Mustafa

Hi Mustafa

She is in a tank with no other roommates than 5 other RCS females and she is allready eating. And I can se small black eyes on the eggs.
So there's hope.

Here's a picture of the female carrying eggs.
