Red Cherry Shrimp

First topic message reminder :

There in a 2.5 gallon dedicated to them right now, hopefully i can get some breeding started. Going to pick up a 5 gallon at petco whenever i stop being lazy to upgrade there space.

How long do cherry shrimp and ghost shrimp live?What do you feed them?

1-1.5 years for cherry's ,the ghost shrimp I dont know for sure. I feed my shrimp a good high quality fish food and Hikari algae wafers.

Does the spawn make good fish food? lol i know im horrible, lol live food is soooo good for fish

I know a few people, thats how they thin theirs out, drop in a DIY shrimp trap (coke bottle) with some food in it,half hour later feed them to the fish

they breed, but i don't think they produce fast enough to make feeders. Unless you wait until you get a nice size colony going so you won't miss the ones you take out.

Why use them as feeders? Grow them out and sell them. They normally bring a pretty decent price.

this shrimp wanted to go white water rafting. he/she had a pretty good grip on the driftwood.
