We have a few that are as big as the danios in the tank. They are prolific breeders in our tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every now and then, I get a berried female, but nothing ever comes of it. I don’t know if it’s my water or maybe I just have all females.

FLFishChik Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 Here’s a pic I just took of a berries female… but I can’t really tell (mostly because I lack experience) if they are fertilized or not 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The endler guy Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Speaking on ghost shrimp could they live with Bolivian rams, mine monched all my cherry shrimp, and want some shrimp (I’ll go Amanos if I can’t find anything that has the chance to breed in fw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One flick of the tail and they can dart halfway across my 29g tank. And bonus… they are cheap. BB store has them $0.59 each, so if you get a few and they accidentally become a snack, you aren’t out a ton of money Edited January 21, 2023 by FLFishChik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy 8-10 at a time, about 50% make it. The ones that do make it seem “bullet proof”. Would I take my chances if it were any other Shrimp? Probably not as others are far more expensive. Cherry Shrimp don’t seem to last long in my tanks, probably because of the water here, and I’m not willing to spend a ton on shrimp that may or may not survive in our weird water (I’m also not into chasing perfect water parameters to be able to house specific fish/invertebrates) so, I stock according to what will be happy with the water as is. Ghost Shrimp seem to be ok with it. I currently have a total of 8 between 3 tanks and all seem to be ok. Wish they would breed, but again, my city water probably isn’t conducive to Shrimp breeding.
