Kangus Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 thats all good. We started out with a few cherries and it sort of grew from there! They become addictive do you have any odd-ball cherry shrimp? i would like to get some unusual coloured ones for a breeding project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew.vid Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 same here! first only had ten then few months in had about 500! and yes very addictive. sorry i do not have any other types, i also want to get some different ones, but so far only have RCS...

Priscacara Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Just cherries for me to date but thats about to change soon. I also kept them in with my BN when I was breeding them, were great fun to watch but soon had far too many. Setting up a native tank and going to include the Caridina sp NTnilotica (Darwin algae shrimp) and the Darwin red nose shrimp. I dont expect them to go nuts breeding like cherries do but would be good to have some increase over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johns Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Do BNs eat baby shrimp?? I have herd they get them at night when its dark. No have kept cherries with most my Bn colonies and they havent touched them that i can tell, have also developed a shrimp food which i am selling as a community food 40% protein.
