I had bought 1 month back about 20 cherry shrimps from local fish shops at Clementi (C238).

I done the following.

  1. Transferred some “cycled” water from the other fish tank into a new tank.
  2. Put in new water + few drops of “de-chlorine” solution
  3. Put in 2 bags of blackish blue stones (look light blue when in water)
  4. Put in 2 sponge air bubble filter (shrimp friendly)
  5. Put in the Cherry Shrimps (Very hardy for this species)
  6. Put some Taiwan Moss or ferns in
  7. Put a 55 Watt lights on top
  8. Put a overhead fan and on it 24/7
  9. Put a digital aquarium thermometer inside and make it below 29 degree Celsius
  10. Feed the cherry shrimps with “Japanese” label food found in C238 twice a day
  11. If found moldy food, fish it out.
  12. Wait for them to breed!!!

This is what I have right now!

The video is fresh from the oven and hope youtube can show it clearly. I caught my shrimp giving birth in the breeding tank yesterday night (early morning) and captured the kodak moment with my PsP camera armed together with a magnifying glass.

I am so proud of my cherry red shrimps!! They are fast breeders!! I have a total of 6 pregnant shrimps in the breeding tank and all are giving me shrimp babies!!

Hopefully all of them can survive long enough to grow up…they had a rough start when I found 4 shrimp babies trapped in my air bubble filter!! I rushed to clementi fish shop and bought the breeder tank and rushed back to rescue these baby shrimps from my bubble filter medium and put them securely in the breeding tank!!

Now, I am a happy owner of 40+++ baby cherry red shrimps!! yay!!
