FS: Red Cherry Shrimp

[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.

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?

My Water Parameters

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.

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.

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 for fish recommendations.
