They are in their own 30g. I have 2 cherry tanks, a yellow tank, a snowball tank, a green tank, the crystal red tank, and 2 snail tanks. As well as my other community tanks. its an invert zoo at my house. They are a little bigger than cherries, but not grossly larger.

How did you acclimate them
I poured them into a seperate holding container from their traveling bag. I then added about 1/4C of water every fifteen minutes until the total volume had been about quadrupled, then i poured them into a net and added them to the tank.

So pretty!
I can't wait for you to be ready to sell some greens. Will they interbreed with cherries.

The greens are supposedly dark green caridina so they would not interbreed with cherries. Right now they are still pretty small so its difficult for me to tell exactly what they are (especially as they are blending into the plants so nicely). I think when they reach full adult size they will be quite stunning. Supposedly they grow a bit slower than cherries, but I am looking forward to them having babies as well. I will let ya know!
