Strictly shrimp. Lots of live plants (moss) for the babies to hide in and keep the water parameters s close to dead on as possible. And of course good breeding stock (thanks to Jason ) My yellow shrimp tank is a dead match to the cherry shrimp tank when it comes to water parameters and I have about 15 babies in it and 3 of 4 females are berried again.

How many cherry shrimp in a 5.5 gallon. Man! I stopped counting around 200 to 300. Flipping things breed like rabbits. Starting to cull the really red ones and put in 10 gallon though. And I have only ever seen 2 dead ones since I ought my original 25 from Jason

15 + babies counted in the tank tonight. Came out of the moss to clean up food left behind by adults. Probably a lot more in the moss that I can't see. And my 3 females are berried again. Woohoo!!!

4 little yellows spotted away from the moss today. Lookin good

One month since I got the yellows and I see my first batch of babies tonight. Only about 5 have shown themselves but hopefully there are more hidden in the moss. Still have 3 more berried females so could be major increase in population over the next 3 weeks.

Second berried yellow female found today. Yahooooo!!!

You betcha. They are doing well. 4 females and 18 males. Lost 3 early on but acceptable attrition I would say Congrats on the berried female. Wow, that's a crappy sex ratio. Did you drip acclimatize them? Nope. Unless you call 1 turkey Baster of tank water added every 10 min for an hour, drip acclimatizing?

So, 2 weeks in their new home and I discovered my first berried yellow shimp in the tank yesterday. I am getting excited ))

How can I overcome not being able to post pictures. All I ever get back is "too Big!!" Don't have that problem on any other site. Any help would be appreciated

Thank you. Great suggestions. Should have thought of that. Daahhhhh lol

I notice that some shrimp breeders use feeding dishes to make it easier to clean up excess food in their shrimp tanks. Anyone able to tell me where to get or what to use?? I gather glass would work best and very shallow of course

Those are great looking shrimp. What are the striped ones? I am still at the cherry shrimp learning level with 25 yellows started a week ago in another tank so still learning breed types.

Wow!!!! You have Some really nice shimp. What kind is the black one???

Currently have colony of Red Cherry Shrimp. Been going for about 3 weeks now. 50 original and now close to 150 with babies born since introduction to the tank. 4 more berried females I noticed this morning. Just put 25 Yellow Shrimp in 10 gallon, by themselves. Hopefully they procreate as fast as the cherries have.
