OMG Aquatics Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 What's the most similar shrimp to Red Cherry Shrimp that's good looking and can survive in same water parameters as Red Cherry Shrimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Pretty much any of the neocaridina species are as easy to keep. They will interbreed though so they shouldn't be kept in the same tanks unless you are ok with them mixing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OblongShrimp Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I like yellows and blue diamonds. The Blue Diamonds strain isn't totally stable so you will get some browns and reds out of it but that just makes things more interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they eat each other's fry? Will they interbreed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG Aquatics Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Nope I feed them the same food as my Fire Red or different food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 same food should be fine. As soothing said they are different color morphs of cherry shrimp so they will interbreed but will not harm fry or shrimplets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 If you have yellows try to stay away from astaxanthin though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
