She or He? (RCS)

Hey Fish-Addict, I really don't know - From what I've read, it is true of the shrimp that are of this species - neocardinia. I see you have an amano shrimp - just one?
 
Are you thinking about trying to breed them?
 
I can understand that - I'm having a hard time just keeping my little guys alive -- I have had terrible luck even though the stock was good.
 
you will see a saddle with all dwarf species that I know of but its easier to see in some species. CRS are hard to see because the red eggs blend with the red body or is covered up by the white shell.

none of my females have red eggs, nor have I ever seen a photo of a RCS with red eggs; yellow and green yes but never red.

CRS and RCS are not the same..

CRS are are Crystal red shrimp they are red and white.

RCS are red cherry shrimp, as discussed here.

Thanks - I was a little confused, especially about the white shell bit.

Copper is suppose to be harmful to them so hopefully you don't have a high concentration out of your tap. I've also heard of horror stories of high losses after disturbing the gravel.
