Red Cherry Shrimp - Secret

Two words for the successful keeping of Red Cherry Shrimp:

JAVA MOSS

I started with six.

This is one corner of a 37 gallon tank.

yup...

breeding cherry shrimp is as easy as adding them to water...

Not for me, I can barely keep them alive :cry: and I have a lot of java in my tank :huh:

LOL , my b/f calls Java Moss the silk sheets of the aquarium world. His didnt breed for a while after he got them. He added some Java Moss and it was magic.

That is a crazy amount of shrimp, btw. It looks pretty cool.

Not as easy for all of us... me included.

adding java moss right now.

I have Java Moss and had 5 RCS. Now they are all dead. Apparently NYC tap water isn't good for RCS breeding.

I am so sorry to hear that. I have heard that they need hard water too.

Somehow, I don't think it is the NYC tap water. There must be something else. Here I am in New Jersey, not far from the source of your water...

The shrimp LOVE algae wafers too.
