Cherry Shrimp Photos Only

iam trying to put a photo album of my tanks on but failing at the moment

 

My 55G tank that has somehow turned into an RCS and BN breeding tank (and a horde of KuhlI Loaches for the 'kids' to play on).

As at this post:
BN = 2 breeding adults (soon to be split as the tank can't handle more than 2 batches of babies...) and 40ish 1-2cm babies with second batch of babies in the cave. (mom in the photo)

Striped Kuhlis = 14
Shrimp = +- 30 adults, 5 adolescent and maybe 10 babies.

 

Blues never look as good in photos as they do in real life.



These were just so much nicer to look at than these photos can reproduce.

 

Feeding Time - Brussels Sprout




richie.p
Not fully cooked, I do the whole bag at one time, they initially float so they are cooked until they sink. Then I let cool and then freeze. Wednesday is veggie day on all my tanks. Take some out, let thaw and its feeding time. Easy!

 

Does a panda Cory that thinks he is a cherry shrimp count?

 

New shrimp keeper!

 

 

I think sweet potato is a new favorite!

 

Awwww

 

Finally figured some good old gravel holds down lettuce well

But anyway here is my new colony from Aquatic Arts!

 

Bad quality shrimp

 

Haha. I have several of those too.

Other type

 

A few pics of my cherry shrimps in my nano (playing around with the macro/closeup setting on my camera)

 

My MVP cherry shrimp!

 

my petco shramps

 

First berried shrimp!! Have had them for several weeks now, they are all doing well.. got a bit teary when I saw her all berried up on the spinach the other day. Apologies for the poor quality photo.. my tablet's camera is not the best.

 

two of my breeding stock decided to make an appearance today so snapped them up

 

We're having Chinese Take-Out tonight!

 

I guess being upside down is a thing. She quite literally always eats upside down. So she is basically upside down 24/7. Maybe that’s why she’s such a deep red

 

Some say cherry shrimp don't flock like Crystal's on veg, this is of course total rubbish, all my cherries flock just like Crystal's

 

I love this little rainbow rock! I had just used a baster to place uber small fry food in the tank so I basted the rock with some as well and the beauties flocked to the rock! This is my favorite photo yet!

 

Video of my cherry shrimp

 

Started with 20 of these~~

Less than a month.GROW my colony!! Muhahahhaha

 

Well. I thought Joanna dropped her eggs, but I was wrong. I just spotted these guys hanging around today!

 

Here's my RCS. I ended up with 2 babies from petco when I got the other 6. I didn't think they'd made it, but here was one feeding today when I dropped in some tasties.

 

Joanna and Melba

 

 

So excited! Just spotted this berried female. I've lost a couple shrimp, but the baby is grown up now. Hopefully this is a good sign that I got my water problems controlled

 

this is one of my latest cherries berried for the first time shes a little over 5 months old

 

Good looking shrimp. Green eggs? Mine cleaning a plant .

 

I noticed a baby in my tank for the first time.

 

Colonize

 

That's stunning from the last time you posted,
What are your other tanks doing

Pretty much a mixed bag o blues but, I'm happy.

 

This red rillI came from the blue gang.

 

Not mine, sadly, but MAN. This lfs where I used to live has gotten some nice shrimp in since I moved. Even their reds are a lot brighter than they were.

 

I got 3 Red Cherry shrimp just to add color to my tank, but they are GOOD at hiding. Here are some rare shots.

 

One of my own bred Bloody Mary

 

Expresso and one of my light eyed blues.

She's coffee brown with a lighter brown stripe on top.
