Thank you for the advice of using airline tubing for the syphon! I just used it today and it worked like a charm

I just added cherries to my 3 nano tanks as cleaners. And I love them more than the fish (almost). Definitely thinking about breeding!

My mom thinks cherry shrimp are ugly, but I just got 2 yesterday, and I think she’s starting to like them. She called them her puppies.

I don't know how it works exactly, but the red cherry shrimp in my tank have been breeding like crazy! Even in Winter and sharing a tank with a school of minnows!

I just ordered some more red cherry shrimp. This time for Rachel O' Leary. I'm excited!!!

Add even a milimeter of substrate, crustaceans get suicidal without it. There is something to hold onto in there, but you’ll have more success.

Great info, but I would never keep shrimp without some kind of substrate.. even an inch.. substrate holds a lot of beneficial bacteria & helps stability in water parameters. Thanks for the info!

I think Seachem makes a great product. For those that don't know, Seachem Prime and Seachem Safe are the same thing. Prime is a liquid and Safe is the powder form. Just 1/4 of a teaspoon of Safe treats 300 gallons. I paid under $11 for an 8.8oz container of the Safe through Amazon. For people treating large tanks or multiple tank the powder is a much more economical choice that will last virtually forever (years). You get quantity without sacrificing quality.

You have got to be my FAVORITE fishtuber. I love rewatching your videos because your content is always fun and super informative! I want to start a species-only shrimp breeding tank next month and you better believe I’ll be returning to this video when I’m ready to get it all set up 😄

Nice Video. Just a little add from me: Cherry Shrimp can stand a bigger range of temperature. I hold some of mine in 86°F, some at around 71-75°F and u even can bring them in your pond in the garden when the pond dont freeze to the ground... so they can handle 39°F too (but wont breed in this temperature). As allways avoid high temperature jumps on waterchange... but 39-86 °F is possible.


And mine works best with black sand 1mm.

I bought

A filter
(No sponge because my parents said it was noisy)
A 5 gallon
2 horned nerite snails
A 6 watt light
Some plants
Soil
gravel to make a mini shrimp and snail garden(actually I was given this lol)
Rocks
Pebbles
It’s still Cycling, I’m adding 8 shrimps soon

In my opinion, the walstead substrate is the best substrate. It is natural, more close to their natural environment, more healthy for fish, invertebrates and plants. It creates an ecosystem, is cost effective (no root tabs either!) AND no water changes or substrate cleaning.Waste will make its way down into the sand to the dirt and fertilize your plants. It's a win win all the way around!

I keep my cherry shrimp with baby pink/red/clear ramshorn snails and my youngest cory fry. They're in a 5 gallon tank with a mini sponge filter, extra airstone, catappa leaf, cholla wood log, and java moss. Now that I've watched this video again, I might add a heater set up to 72°F (cory egg safe).
