FS: Red Cherry Shrimp

[John N.]

Hi,

10+ baby Cherry Reds - $20

http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=3990

Definately enough to get you started with your own population. As always you'll get a bit of java moss packed in with the shrimp for them to hold onto while they travel straight to your door. These shrimp will be coming from my 29 gallon Shrimp farm.

Price includes USPS 2-3 day shipping. Paypal, non-cc. Post here, or send me a PM. Thanks!

-John N.

[plah831]

John, I'd be very interested in buying some of your RCS. Question: if they lack a planktonic larval stage, will they start breeding on me? I'm not really interested in a population boom of cherry shrimp :D I'm used to ghosties whose babies were always eaten by my filter.

[John N.]

Hi Paula, the pregnant cherries will give birth to free swimming cherries. There is no planktonic larval stage.

-John N.

[John N.]

Shipping out packages tomorrow. Still lots available for sale. Just let me know!

Thanks,

-John N.

[beviking]

10+ for $20 including shipping! :thud:
Great price John! :thm:

[John N.]

Thanks Bill! Cherry shrimp are the gift that keep on giving. They are fun little shrimp, and everyone should get a chance to try them.

-John N.

[aardvark1]

John-

Just happen to have a 10 gallon tank empty at the moment. I'll take some of the shrimpies!

PM me for details I guess.

[debaric]

will my 4" clowns eat them?

[John N.]

Aardvark1 PM sent.

Debaric, I haven't kept 4" clowns before, but its quite possible that they might be eaten, if there isn't enough cover from the larger fish.

-John N.

[aardvark1]

John-

PM sent back at ya!

[RISK2123]

i pm'd you about picking some up. thanks for posting!!!!

[fishcatch22]

do you sell them in denominatons less than 10, and can I pay by money order?

[John N.]

Risk - PM replied

Fishcatch22 - Can sell smaller quantities for $1.50 per shrimp. Add $5 for shipping. Money orders, personal checks, and cash are okay. However I do prefer Paypal.

Packages went out today, with more cherry shrimp available.

-John N.

[beviking]

Thanks Bill! Cherry shrimp are the gift that keep on giving. They are fun little shrimp, and everyone should get a chance to try them.

-John N.

Amen!

I wouldn't keep clowns with cherry shrimp...that's just me.

[Justlikeapill]

[John N.]

-John N.

[Aussie_hippie_2]

[John N.]

Aussie_Hippie - there will be plenty when you're ready.

[desertgoldhound]

I have been thinking of breeding different shrimp to sell. I can send you a money order, or check within the next week. This will give me time research these particular shrimp. I need to know who to make the check/money order out to and an address. If you still have any left.

[desertgoldhound]

PM'ed you check is going out on friday. Waiting with exitment for my new little freinds. My girl friend is laughing becouse I won't to through them a party when they get here. :bday:

I am soooooooooooooo excited.


The nice thing about knowing you are getting new friends is that time sllllooooowwws dddooowwwn. This means you have longer to live.... OK maybe not but time seems like it runs slower

[John N.]

Sounds good, I'll keep a look out for your check. Will ship as soon as I receive it.

-John N.

[puertorico]

Hi, I heard about you on another forum, if you have any shrimp left I would like to buy a package of them. PM me.

Thanks,
Carol

[puertorico]

BTW, do you have a PayPal account by any chance? Looking forward to getting my shrimp ASAP:-)

Carol

[John N.]

Hi Carol, I do except Paypal.

I'll send you a PM with my Paypal information.

-John N.

[puertorico]

Thanks John, looking forward to getting them:-)

Carol

[Gatorguy]

Will adult Amano shrimp mess with baby red cherry shrimp or will they live together happily? 35g hex planted.

[John N.]

Amano shrimp will leave the baby cherries alone. ;)

-John N.

[puertorico]

Got my shrimp today! Super fast shipping, excellent packing, everyone arrived healthy and happy. John shipped on Tuesday from Cali. and I got them Thursday here in North Carolina :-)

Thanks John,
Carol

[desertgoldhound]

Couldn't be happier. Please be adviced these are small when they arive, however; from what I have read this is the best practice. Shrimp are awsome thank you. Will do buisness with again A++. Need shrimp then contact John. Awsome shipping, Awsome Shrimp, Awsome Extra's. This is the first time I ordered live animals other then when I was working at Pet Stores and they were all from Large Companies and these are healthier. Thanks Much John. Rating Posted check for PM.

[DrussRob]

Recieved the package today! Everybody was just fine and loving thier new HUGE 56gal cube jungle home. :)

[Jack459]

hey, my friend was searching the web the other day and somehow he came across this forum and he told me about it. I got a 20 gallon tank with nothing in it except a cory thats been there for a 2 years now and i saw only $20 for 10 shrimp and would like to purchase some.. Paypal would be best. Also what temperature is best? PM me i guess

[Malbri]

Three questions for you-
What water parameters do you keeps them at?
Do you keep any fish in with them, if not, do you know what is compatible with them?
How long does your offer stand?

[John N.]

Thanks DrussRob, Carol, and Desert! I'm glad you got your shrimp in fine order. Take care of them. ;)

__________________________________
Cherry Shrimp are very hardy shrimp, and withstand most different water conditions. The main factor to be concerned about is maintaining constant water parameters.

My Water Parameters are:
Temp: 72-74
PH 6.8-7.2
KH 3
GH 4
Ammonia, nitrite, nitrates - zero

Recommend Fish:
Otos and Corycats are 100% shrimp safe. The rule of thumb is if the shrimp can fit in a fish's mouth, then it's likely going to eat it if it gets the chance. Providing lots of plant and decoration cover will minimize/stop the predation. I've kept shrimp with Endler's Livebearers and H.rasboras. Some baby shrimp get eaten every once in a while, but the population still grows.

I recommend starting a separate shrimp tank to get a stock of Cherries going before introducing a cherry population to a community tank. That way you will always have cherry shrimp in case they get eaten.
__________________________________


The offer stands as long as there is interest. Let me know if you have any more questions.

-John N.

[Malbri]

I only have a ten gallon tank, somewhat new to fish. After xmas I am either going to get a bigger tank and plant it or just decorate the current tank depending on how short on money I am and if I get any fish related stuff for xmas.
Fish it would be in would be something like mollies
Im not sure if I really dare to get them shipped in the winter, will the offer still stand in june?

[Malbri]

Oh and I got a message saying you sent me a private message but all these annoying blockers on my computer wont let me see it

[John N.]

Ah, popup blockers. I was senting you a PM with payment information. Just shoot me a PM when you're ready to receive some. The offer will likely still be available in the spring.

I would be weary of keeping them housed with mollies though. I've seen mollys eat their own fry, so cherries might make tasty expensive snacks.

-John N.

[Malbri]

Would tetras be alright?

[John N.]

If there is plenty of cover in terms of Plants, moss and decorations yes. But some baby shrimp might be eaten. See Post #35 (http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=712455&postcount=35) for fish recommendations.

-John N.

[Evan214]

John-

What do you feed your RCS?

-Evan

[splatt3]

just wondering because this thread is old.....do you still have some red cherries? i am very interested.

[John N.]

Hi Evan, I feed them Hikari Algae Wafers, H&B lobster bites, and the occasional frozen bloodworm. They love both.

Splatt3, I do have many cherries available if you're interested.

-John N.

[splatt3]

PM sent and also payment! woohoo! so excited!!

[azadehm1]

Thanks again John,

Much to my surprise, after an extended 5 day trip (due to a post office delay) all of my shrimp arrived well and alive. This can only be due to their great health before shipping and John's great packaging skills. Everyone should buy some!!

[fish_freak]

John what is that shrimp on your avatar and do you sell them? or any other shrimp besides cherries?

[desertgoldhound]

I know I am not john but I beleive that is a cristal red shrimp. He will be breeding them but when they will become available you will have to ask him.

[John N.]

azadehm1 - That's for the compliments. I'm glad they all made it after a 5 day journey across country.

Fish_freak - Desertgoldhound is correct. They are crystal red shrimp, and currently unavailable at the moment. The population is still building up to where they are able to be sold. Right now cherry shrimp are the only shrimp I sell. But I do offer Endler's livebearers (http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86703) if you're interested. ;)

-John N.

[kuhliloach]

how long do the cherry shrimp even live for, for shipping do u need 2 no our adress ? how big are they when being shipped?

[John N.]

Kuhliloach - Cherry shrimp can live up to 1 year or so. The size of them when shipped out varies, but ranges up to half of an inch and smaller. This is the perfect size for safe shipping, and to ensure that the young shrimp will adapt well. I will need to know your mailing address in order for the package to be delivered. ;)

-John N.

[tonysdiscus]

anymore left?if so please email me
tonysdiscus414@verizon.net

[John N.]

Tony - There are plenty of shrimp available. I sent you a PM and email regarding my paypal info.

-John N.

[fish_freak]

John any idea when you will have a substantial colony of those crystal red shrimp? There are beautiful and would love some when you finally begin to sell them.

[fishcatch22]

hey john, do they eat algae? I was going to get more ghost shrimp to help me be finally rid of my hair algae, but they look a little... plain.

[John N.]

Fish_Freak - My goal is to have a CRS population that is sellable sometime in the summer 2007.

Fishcatch22 - Cherry shrimp are excellent algae eaters. I see them picking at BBA on the intake pipes. I dropped in a thread/clado algae covered mat of pellia, and within a week the algae disappeared undered the swarm of cherries picking at it constantly.

-John N.

[Punkyduck]

Im interestedi your cherry red shrimp im just wondering...I have a marimo ball...cladophora. Do you think they wil eat it ?

[John N.]

Punkyduck - My guess is that they will pick at your marimo ball with the potential to eat the whole thing, but that's only if you have a 150 or more cherry shrimp in your tank like I do. So until your reach that point, that marimo ball will probably be okay, as I imagine the growth rate of the ball will be higher than the rate that the cherries can consume.

-John N.

[splatt3]

WOW!! Amazing! my lil guys finally got here. came in late because of weather and airport closing but that isn't anyone's fault. the lil guys came in healthy and alive! thanks for the free riccias and other plants. not to mention the extra baby shrimp. i didn't realize i have that tiny one until i was about to throw away the water. they are great shrimps. definately would do business again. :)

[Evan214]

Are these shrimp the same as these:

http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=1898

If so, your price is WAY better!

If not, are these the same as Crystal Red SHrimp or something different entirely?

[beviking]

I believe John has Neocaridina denticulata sinensis as seen here...
http://www.azgardens.com/shrimpfactory.php
Still a good price!

-Bill

[daayda3]

John, do you have anymore? How much would the total be if I bought 5?
I'd be interested:)

You can PM me:)

[daayda3]

Do you have anymore?

[Brian Anderson]

quick questions.

will these be ok with a betta in a 2.5 gallon for about 2 weeks till i get my 125 going. then ill move most of them.

and how is the crystal type coming along?

[John N.]

Sorry for the delay everyone. Holiday rush, shopping and tending to family chewed up some of my time. But now I got some moments to spare. ;)

Evan, Bill is correct, Neocaridina denticulata sinensis or Cherry shrimp is what I have for sale currently. Crystal red Shrimp are different. Check out this site (http://www.petshrimp.com/shrimpspecies.html)for more information on the different freshwater shrimp available out there.

Daayda, I'll just sent you a couple of PMs with a deal, and payment info.

Brian, I wouldn't keep cherries with a betta. Though I never tried, I have a feeling that the betta would eat the shrimp. My crystal red shrimp tank is coming along great. I oversold the population a few months back, so things are slowly recovering, and it will be a while till I decide to sell (maybe summer).

Plenty of shrimp available, just let me know via PM or respond in the thread. Thanks guys!

-John N.

[Ghost_knife]

how do you think they would do with severum?

[daayda3]

thanks, i pmd you back..LOL

[John N.]

Ghost Knife - Severum + Cherry Shrimp = Expensive fish snacks. I wouldn't recommend it.

Daayda3 - thanks got your PM.

-John N.

[daayda3]

aahhhh!
They are WONDERFULL!:thm:
Some adults, and even some babies!!!! Thanks for the xtra John N.!
Great service!!!;) :clap:

[daayda3]

OMG! I cant get over how beautiful they are!!!!!
They ALL arived alive, even the itsy bitsy babies!
The babies are in my net breeder, and the grown ones are in my tank:clap::thm:

Also, what kind of plant came with them? Could I grow those in my tank? I saved them just in case;)

Thanks again john!!

[Malbri]

how risky is it to have these shipped in the winter?

[NinjaPirate]

Depends on the temp. If your temp is regularily below freezing I don't recommend sending any aquatic animal. (My LFS just had some guppies come in with heatpacks that had ice in the bags recently...).

Shrimp and betta = not a good idea in general. With a very passive betta, lots of hiding spaces, and a shrimp that's big enough that the betta doesn't consider it food it's *possible* at best.

Just wanted to say I ordered a batch from John last month and they're great.

[John N.]

Wow thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm glad everyone's shrimp are doing okay and breeding well for you.

If anyone else is interested there are always more available. Just let me know,

-John N.

[livingword26]

Shame on me for waiting so long. I got some of these shrimp from John several weeks ago. Not one dead one when they arrived. They have been a blessing to my tank. Thanks!

[muddskipper26]

you still got some of them left

[John N.]

Yup sure do. PM sent.

-John N.

[native]

i might be interested too. Would my ADF eat them?

[John N.]

i might be interested too. Would my ADF eat them?
The frog will likely eat them.

-John N.

[gali]

Hi John,

Looks interesting - thought I'd give it a try. hoerver, current fish are yoyo loaches, diamons tetras guppies and a gourami - I'm not sure the loaches are a good match... What do you think?

-G

[chaibill]

are you still shipping

[John N.]

Hi John,

-G
The yoyos will definately take out the shrimp population give soem time. The other fish may or may not leave the shrimp along as it depends on how much hiding cover is provided to the shrimp. But most likely the little baby cherries will get picked off.

-John N.

[John N.]

are you still shipping
Yup, just shoot me a PM.

Thanks,

-John N.

[Erikajo]

I just wanted to say that John's shrimp are wonderful! And John is fabulous to work with! Thanks, John! :)

[John N.]

Thanks Erika, I'm happy we got your shrimp ranch up and running.

-John N.

[soccerkidbs]

Are they marching somewhere??

[Mofolepo]

I ordered shrimp from John this weekend, and he shipped it out first thing on Monday. Since I'm in Hawaii, priority took 4 days to get here, but there were no casualties. The shrimp all look healthy, and the packaging was superb. That and he shipped some additional shrimp just because. Great seller! Will buy from again (if he had CRS -like in his avatar- for a decent price).

[Erikajo]

Just a note - I bought 10 cherry shrimp from John just six weeks ago. I now have over 30 shrimp with 2 more pregnant females! They're amazing! Once again, thanks John!!! :)

[jessivore]

I bought shrimp from John a while ago, but he sent extras just because and all of them arrived healthy and happy! All shrimp are still doing great! Thnx again John

[JOSEPHLB]

Just a note - I bought 10 cherry shrimp from John just six weeks ago. I now have over 30 shrimp with 2 more pregnant females! They're amazing! Once again, thanks John!!! :)

Hmm.. so they multiply fairly quickly then?

My Lionfish may love these for a tasty dinner.

[Sink Colin Sink]

Still shrimp for sale?

Yup, just shoot me a PM if you're interested. That's the best way to get to me.

No problem Guitar Kev. Looks like they colored up nicely.

Sorry Lukee, I can't ship them to Australia.

-John N.

[Becca3711]

Could I have 10 in a 2.5, or is that overcrowding? Thanks!

[John N.]

That's fine. I have a least three times that in a 3 gallon Eclipse. :)

-John N.

[Becca3711]

Just wanted to let everyone know, I recieved my shrimps todayand I couldn't be happier. I ordered 10 and recieved probably 12. Not one died in transit! They are very active and are already coloring up nicely! Thanks John! I hopefully soon will be after some of your Endlers.

THANKS!

[DBray6]

Mine arrived today!! All swimming nicely. Thanks!

[John N.]

Thanks guys for the update. :)

If anyone wants some before the holidays, let me know.

-John N.

[DarrylR]

If I can't find a better deal than 10 shrimp for $20, I may buy some soon.

[Erik With A K]

Do you think I could purchase only 5?

[John N.]

Yup, I'll send you a PM for a deal for 5.

-John N.

[DarrylR]

Heh, I would also like to know how much 5 would be :). I am trying to buy little amounts of shrimp from different breeders so my shrimp won't become inbred.

[InTr4nceWeTrust]

Where in California are you located? If it's close enough maybe I could do a local pickup. Or at least get a discount for cheaper shipping ^_^"

[DarrylR]

I haven't received a PM about only wanting 5, but when your back my email is flipboy04@gmail.com

[John N.]

Hi Darrell I'll send you a PM. :)

If anyone else is interested the just shoot me a PM. The deal for 10 cherry shrimp is $20. I package with less or more if you want just ask.

-John N.

[Snow1576]

John thanks for your prompt delivery of the cherry shrimp! All of them came to me alive just as you said.

[jencheung]

I just received my shipment of cherry reds and crystal reds from John and let me tell you, he's a pleasure to do business with and his shrimp are fantastic! He packages them very very well and shipping was very quick. All in all, I couldn't be happier! If you are even thinking about getting shrimp, he's definitely the guy to get them from! Thanks so much John!

[John N.]

It's my pleasure! :)

Take care of them,

-John N.

[InTr4nceWeTrust]

I received my cherry shrimp on Monday along with a huge plant that I had requested. The shrimp are all great. They colored up only minutes after I started acclimating them. Such bright reds. They're all very active and living well in my 10 gallon aquarium. This is the best picture I've go so far. Took my like 20 shots before I got it...
http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/7319/shrimprc7.jpg

And that's not even the brightest one ^_^ John was a pleasure to do business with.

[InTr4nceWeTrust]

Hm...the shrimp are still doing great. It seems the plants I got had black brush algae though : /

[kvntran]

John,

Are you selling Crystal Red Shrimps now? thanks.
