mypetrock Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Im fairly new to shrimp keeping hobby, I started with 5 Sakura Fire Red Cherries I purchased off amazon for a community tank, tetras, snails, betta fish. At one point I wasn't noticing anymore shrimp and counted them out as a loss, after a water change I noticed shrimp babies so I preserved them in a 6 g Fluval Spec. I later purchased 10 RCS from LFS, which seemed a lower grade that Sakura but still had bright colors and close to same size. Appx 2 months later I had berried shrimp! Now I have them all in modified 12g Fluval Edge, I carefully removed the glass top and used the now "rimless" Edge with and LED over it, today I switched out HOB filter for a double sponge filter which I've read the fry love! Its not much but I'll attach some pics. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited, so far all of the offspring have been fairly bright red, when you say "10 varieties" what do you mean?
