MN Shrimping Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I just finished watching one of my Red Cherry mamas give birth. This is my first batch of babies, but will have some more babies in the next week or so! Since this is my first babies, I was wondering how long it is before the babies start showing their color & how long before you can tell how intense the color will be.... Oh, and at what age are they sexable? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 idk about sex but for coloring, my fire reds shown color within 2 weeks after birth and gets really red at about 4 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Unless showing saddles at juvie age, you really have to wait until young adult to start making an id on gender. At least I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayr_Tigley Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I have kept my cherries in 25-27c before and when my cherries gives birth they usually get a little color by day 4 and the first one to get saddle is at 4weeks and get some more saddled cherries as days goes by.
