Cherry shrimp

Scientific Name: Neocaridina denticulate sinenis “red”

Cherry shrimp Breeding/Mating/Reproduction: these shrimp are ery easy to breed. the females will start to turn very red and you will see yellow eggs being held in their swimlets. The females will release hormones into the water and the males will find her and mate. The females can store sperm like guppys and mollys. The female will keep the eggs and then after a while they will release the baby shrimp. The shrimp are miniature replicas of the adults. You do not need to worry about the parents eating their young. For best breeding results keep shrimp without other fish.

For breeding I think it should be: these shrimp are ery easy to breed. the females will start to turn very red and you will see yellow eggs being held in their swimlets. The females will reslease hormones into the water and the males will find her and mate. The females can store sperm like guppys and mollys. The female will keep the eggs and then after a while they will release the baby shrimp. The shrimp are miniture replicas of the adults. You do not need to worry about the parents eating their young. For best breeding results keep shrimp without other fish.

Hmmm, did you site your sources? (The English teacher is coming out in me ) For example, I'm assuming you had a source for the scientific name... unless you know how to spell that off-hand, in which case you're amazing! If you need help with citations, I'm here for you!
