I’ve had my very first Cherries for about 3 weeks now, and I only have three. I wasn’t sure about their sexes since they seemed to be three different ages. But I’m hoping this females eggs will be viable! I noticed eggs this past weekend. The two largest are females (I can see a saddle on the other female), so I’m guessing the smaller is the male. Any advice on what to expect, advice for better survival, etc? it’s a 10gal, w/3 shrimp & 2 snails. On a side note, any one else seen super inflated prices on shrimp lately? I’m Texas, they tried to charge me $12.99/cherry shrimp! Down the road, they were $6.99. IMG_9035.MOV

All, Looking for some advice on increasing the shrimplet survival rate in my 10g Taiwan bee tank. I've had 3 berried females over the past 2 months and haven't had any shrimplets survive more than a few days, 1 week tops. I have 2 currently berried and due sometime in the next 10-15 days and am hoping this time is different. Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 5 or less Ph 6.4 I bought some glasgarten baby powder food, and have some additional moss coming from Han tomorrow. I've dosed Bacter ae in the past but considering switching to magic powder (use that in crystal tank and seem to have better results) A couple weeks ago I also reduced the flow in the tank as I read in some old random post that can mess up the shrimplets. I'm also planning on not doing anything at all to the tank when we get closer to due date. Any other suggestions? I'm sure I'm probably overthinking it, but dying to raise some tbs to adulthood. Thanks shrimpers

Okay Experts, I have another newbie question. I've read post about baby survival rates and I think this is an important topic of course. My question is this. I just found babies in one of my tanks this weekend. Now these are my first that I've seen (very excited) but they are literally the size of a grain of sand. How do you guys know how many you have to start and what your survival rate is? I have shrimp in with plants, rocks, sand, cholla, and am lucky to see anything that tiny. I was only searching because my records said that I had females with eggs about ready.

I have about 20+ new born baby cherrys! This is my first time breeding I have driftwood and moss balls in my breeding box and in my tank, there are 3 babies in the tank with all the other shrimp but I am scared for them lol but boy are they great hiders! And then I have 18 that I can count in the bottom of my breeding box which are hiding under the moss balls:) How long does it take this lil guys to get colour and grow big enough to not get sucked up through my filter? Have a shrimptastic day everyone:)
